If the Colombian was impressive in December, he has taken his game to the next level with an enchanting display of goalscoring prowess after the winter break. Zapata has scored 5 goals in January and kept the pressure on the men ahead of him.

Zapata started the new year with an astonishing 4 goal masterclass against Frosinone, a game that Atalanta BC won 5-0. He continued his fine run in the next game as well, scoring an important goal as Atalanta secured a hard-fought 3-3 draw against AS Roma at home. On Monday night, he started in the 1-0 away win over Cagliari, but could not score.

The Colombian is averaging 0.68 goals per game so far and has scored a goal every 106 minutes played. He has registered 49 shots, 26 of which have been on target. With 15 goals from 22 games, Zapata is currently third in the race to the Serie A Golden Boot
