Transfer news: Maura Zarate due second part of QPR medical ahead of loan from West Ham Sky Sports sources understand Mauro Zarate will have the second part of a medical at Queens Park Rangers in the next 48 hours ahead of a six-month loan move.Zarate, 27, has scored twice in eight appearances for the Hammers this season after joining from Argentine side Velez Sarsfield in the summer.
He signed a three-year contract on 1 July, with a further one-year option, but the move has turned sour since netting on his Irons debut in the 3-1 win at Crystal Palace.
One more goal in seven games has seen the Argentine forward fall behind Andy Carroll, Diafra Sakho and Carlton Cole in the pecking order at the Boleyn Ground, and he has not featured for Sam Allardyce’s side since the 2-1 win at West Brom on December 2.
QPR boss Harry Redknapp is keen to add to his striking options to boost his club's Premier League survival hopes and
Allardyce admitted he thought the deal had already gone through and that no other club had enquired about Zarate's availability.
He said: "It was all done and dusted for QPR but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment for whatever reason.
"Obviously Mauro's problem is he's not played enough here and feels that he needs to go and play somewhere else and thinks that playing somewhere else will be better, playing more often.
"I think the problem is with Mauro is if he played better here he would have played more often. So whether he can do that away from here or not I don't know.
"I have no idea of any other club that has shown an interest in him other than QPR."
