Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

D. Zapata is a 35-year-old centre-forward at Torino, rated 18 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 374th of 380 on scout potential in the Serie A. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.24 goals, 0.08 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Zapata.

Judged on this season alone, Zapata graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 28 appearances (0.32 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 17). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 47th of 49 of the 49 centre-forwards in the Serie A. At 35 Zapata is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Zapata missed 4 games through injury (thigh, muscle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

3 goals in 28 appearances (0.11 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 4 goal contributions in all.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 18, Zapata carries the 47th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Serie A of 49. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.32 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
