Rangers have been locked in talks with the Argentine club over a deal for the highly-rated Colombian striker.
West Ham had previously struck a deal before pulling out earlier this summer, while other clubs from around Europe such as Italians Napoli and Sassuolo, French side Evian and Spaniards Atletico Madrid have all shown an interest in recent weeks.
However, Rangers have now managed to broker a deal for Zapata worth $10million (£6.4million).
Zapata is now due to arrive in England over the weekend to finalise personal terms and undergo a medical.
The 22-year-old, who is expected to be part of Colombia's squad for next year's World Cup finals, will then need a work-permit - which will have to go to appeal.
QPR are hopeful that Zapata will be granted the move under the 'special talent' ruling.
If true, sounds like a major coup. A goal every other game, 6' 2 1/2", Colombian International, only 22. In two years time we sell him to a Mediterranean money bags club for £60 million. What could possibly go wrong?

In the words of Sid James in Carry On Cleopatra...Blimus.
Ha! That's the best line (or indeed word) in that movie. I still use it today.

So it would seem we've upped our bid to 6 million USD plus add-ons with a friendly included. We're the only club to have agreed to pay the fee in one upfront instalment Estudiantes have agreed the offer and Zapata plus representatives are flying over on Sunday. Only things left are the medical anfd the paperwork.
