The 22 year old foward has been in the wishlist of plenty of clubs across Europe but it seems that Harry Redknapp has beaten the rest to his signature.<br />

Zapata was earlier close to sealing a move to West Ham but the deal fell through as the Hammers failed to acquire the player's work permit in England.&nbsp;<br />

Estudiantes president Enrique Lombardi has confirmed that there are still issues to be resolved which include the player's medical and work permit in the country.<br />

"We have approved the offer we have received from Queens Park Rangers for Duvan Zapata," Lombardi is quoted by El Dia.<br />

"The player has permission to travel to England. There are still some details to resolve, such as the work permit and the medical.<br />

"We haven't signed anything. From England, we haven't been informed yet if he will be given a work permit."
