Udinese have signed Colombian striker Duvan Zapata on a two-year loan deal from Napoli.

The 24-year-old had scored 11 Serie A goals for the Azzurri since moving to Naples from Estudiantes in 2013 but now travels the length of Italy to play for new Bianconeri boss Stefano Colantuono.

A statement published on Udinese's official website revealed Zapata had started training with his new team-mates and would be available for selection in Wednesday night's friendly against Panathinaikos.
