    A good full back with plenty of enthusiasm imo only 24 and playing well with Udinese.

    He has stated that he is close to signing for Liverpool. Your thoughts?

    Just found this.

    Cristián Eduardo Zapata Valencia (born 30 September 1986) is a Colombian footballer. He currently plays for Udinese Calcio as a defender, usually at centre back. He can also play at full back on either side as he is comfortable with both feet, although naturally right footed.

    That's useful if we have any injures across the back four. Haven't seen him play before though.

    Judging by that video, he looks like a solid player. Isn't afraid to get stuck in and would be a decent acquisition if we got him. <ok>

    Looks a decent player but what would you give for a new Sammi..would have to go down as one of the best signings ever.From a nobody to A LEGEND ! One of my favourite all time players.

    For the reported £9 million he would be a steal.Now that would be clever business.

    A steal indeed for 9mil£ and if he is able to play in different positions like mentioned above he would be a good addition

    cheaper than the english options, i would say he is better and his versatility is a bonus

    I used to buy Zapata on Champ Manager years and years ago. So I already knew before Kenny that he could do it!#]

    On a serious note, I don't thing i'v ever seen him play! Hopefully he can do it for us. Right back if I remember.
