Big spenders... still! QPR agree deal for £6.3m Colombian striker Zapata



QPR have agreed a deal that rises to £6.3m for Estudiantes’ Duvan Zapata.



The Colombia Under 20s striker is due in London on Monday but he will still need to gain a work permit before the deal can go through.

QPR will appeal on the grounds Zupata is a special talent.

Defender Anton Ferdinand, 28, has left QPR by mutual consent. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Bursaspor and is expected to join Antalyaspor on a free transfer.

QPR manager Harry Redknapp is also keen to offload Samba Diakite. Redknapp said: ‘Diakite wants to go. We won’t stand in his way. He’s had knee surgery and he’s not fit at the moment.’
