# Inter Milan join West Ham in race to sign Duvan Zapata

Inter Milan have joined the race to sign West Ham target Duvan Zapata at the end of the season.

[According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/inter-duvan-zapata-alternativa-a-dzeko-18050), Inter are looking at Zapata as a potential signing as they look for alternative targets to Roma forward Edin Dzeko.

Zapata is currently on loan to Atalanta from fellow Serie A side Sampdoria and has been in incredible form for the club this season.

The Colombian international has hit 17 Serie A goals, as well as picking up a further five assists.

He has scored 22 goals in all competitions and is now attracting interest from a host of clubs – namely Inter and West Ham.

Inter are looking to replace Mauro Icardi, who has been stripped of the captaincy and frozen out of the first-team picture at the San Siro.
