Duván Zapata

Duván Zapata is the kind of striker I have real affection for. At 189 cm, the Colombian forward is a classic target man, but reducing him to pure power misses the craft that kept him relevant across Napoli, Udinese, Sampdoria, Atalanta and now Torino, where he wears the captain's armband. For a foreign player to lead an Italian club says everything about the trust he's earned. From América de Cali to Estudiantes to a decade in Serie A, his is a story of durability in one of football's most tactical leagues. I admire forwards who age into leadership rather than fading.
