A gunner with a passion for heading, with Duvan Zapata Torino has found a true aerial specialist. In fact, all of the last eight goals scored by the Colombian striker in Serie A have come with his head: in 2024, more than any other player in the top five European leagues (Alexander Sørloth has done so with six). This was underlined, right after the former Atalanta striker’s goal against Verona, by the profile Twitter by Opta Paolo.
Duvan Zapata’s TMW report card
Shoe 7 – In the area he is simply devastating. In the body to body you never beat him, on the high balls even less. He takes advantage of one and finds another goal, with his head, his best fundamental. He is the MVP.
