Atalanta Place €45m Price Tag on Duvan Zapata as West Ham Plot 2nd Bid for Forward

Atalanta have placed a €45m price tag on star striker Duvan Zapata amid reports suggesting West Ham will follow up their January interest with a second bid in the summer.

With speculation that Marko Arnautovic would be leaving the club to play in China, it was suggested the Hammers were targeting a replacement for the Austrian, with Sky Sport Italia claiming that Manuel Pellegrini's side had offered €40m for Zapata.

Despite having their bid for the 27-year-old turned down due to Atalanta being reluctant to sell mid-way through the season, Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport have now revealed that the Hammers could rekindle their interest in the Colombian.
