According to the Daily Mail, Cristian Zapata is one of Arsenal's objectives. His agent Massimo Italiani, interviewed exclusively by calciomercato.com said: "He is happy about Arsenal's interest. It is a few years now that Zapata is approached by such prestigious clubs, it means he is doing well, that he is always a protagonist. He is also like by various Italian clubs (Milan, Fiorentina and above all Napoli ed), but for the moment I have not recieved any offers, neither from italy nor England. He is happy at Udinese, but all players want to do better, to grow. If an offer from a big club should come it will certainly be considered. But I repeat, for the moment there is nothing official, only rumours".
