[英超]韋斯咸正為 阿根廷球會拉普拉塔學生隊 哥倫比亞前鋒Zapata 申請工作證 [復制鏈接]

West Ham have agreed a £6.7million fee to sign hot Colombian prospect Duvan Zapata.
The Hammers have met the $10m valuation of the striker's Argentinian club, Estudiantes, but now the 22-year-old needs to get a work permit.
Thepowerful 6ft 2in forward starred for Colombia U-20s as they won theToulon Tournament in 2011 and has scored 14 goals in 23 games thisseason for Estudiantes.
Hammers manager Sam Allardyce, strengthening a squad that finished 10 last season on their return to the top flight, sanctioned the bid after receiving rave reviews from scouts.
Big Sam hopes to unleash Zapata with new signing Andy Carroll, once the £15m England striker is fit after a heel injury.
West Ham are offering Zapata a four-year contract, with a two-year option, if they get a work permit later this month.
It would be a coup for the Londoners given Lyon of France, Portuguese pair Benfica and Porto and Italy's Udinese are all keen.
Zapatahopes to follow in the footsteps of compatriot Radamel Falcao, whomoved from Argentina to Europe and became a goal-scoring superstar.

Sky Sports understands West Ham United are set to launch a bid for Duvan Zapata, one of the most highly-rated young players in South America.

The 22-year-old striker is currently with Argentine giants Estudiantes and a host of clubs have been tracking the £10million-rated marksman.

Borussia Dortmund, Lyon, Besiktas and Benfica have all shown an interest in the Colombian, who scored 14 goals last season in the Argentine top flight.

However, West Ham - who have strong links in South America - have been keeping tabs on Zapata for a number of months and they have now decided to make a move for the powerful 6ft 2in front-man.

Zapata is yet to make his full debut for Colombia, but it is believed he will be part of their squad before next summer's World Cup finals, which they are on course to qualify for.

Zapata is being tipped to become the next Colombian to break into European football following on from the likes of Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez, who began on the same career path from their homeland, to Argentina and then Europe.

The Hammers have lined up a deal with Argentine side Estudiantes for the highly-rated 22-year-old.

Zapata is eager to seal a move to the Premier League, but his application will have to go to appeal and West Ham are working on their case.

A number of high-profile figures in world football are set to give references about Zapata, who is valued at close to £8million, and so West Ham are hopeful they will get a permit on the 'special talent' avenue.

The fact Colombia are now ranked in the world's top three is also likely to be taken into account and, although Zapata is yet to win his first cap, he does look set to become part of their squad before next summer's World Cup finals.

A source close to the deal confirmed to Sky Sports that he was 'hopeful' of securing what he believes would be a 'dream move'.
