Zapata has impressed as Udinese have climbed to sixth in Serie A this season and Italian clubs Milan, Internazionale, Juventus and Fiorentina are also said to be in chasing the stopper.
It has not been revealed which English sides are in pursuit of the 21-year-old Columbian, but Zapata's representative, Daniele Vidal, insists there is genuine interest.
"A lot of the transfer market voices that you hear with regard to Zapata are just rumours," Vidal told Italian television station

"However, I can confirm that there are a number of scouts looking at him. People from Juventus, Milan, Inter, Fiorentina and also English clubs."
Zapata, though, is adamant that he is not looking to leave Udinese any time soon.
