Transfer news: Argentina's Mauro Zarate excited about West Ham move

Former Birmingham City striker Mauro Zarate admits he is desperate to sign for West Ham United after jetting in from Argentina to complete a proposed move from Velez Sarsfield.

The 27-year-old was in prolific form for Buenos Aires-based Velez Sarsfield, finishing the season as the Primera Divison's top scorer with 13 goals, four more than closest rival Guido Carillo of Estudiantes.

And the former Lazio and Inter Milan forward revealed he is excited about following in the footsteps of compatriots Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano ahead of his imminent move to West Ham.

"Yes," Zarate told Sky Sports News when asked if he had agreed terms on a three-year contract with West Ham.

"It's a new chance for me. West Ham called me. They are a fierce team and now I think I want to play (there)."

When asked if he had spoken to Tevez and Mascherano ahead of his proposed move, he added: "Yes a little bit.

Now we will talk (with West Ham's owners) and maybe I will sign."

Zarate scored four goals in 14 appearances during his last stint in England - a loan move to Birmingham from Qatari side Al Sadd.

Current West Ham co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan were in charge at St Andrew's during Zarate's spell with Birmingham.

A source told Sky Sports: "Mauro is very excited about a move to England.

"He enjoyed his spell last time with Birmingham and is ready to play in the Premier League again."

Transfer news: Mauro Zarate completes move to West Ham



Sky Sports revealed West Ham's move for Zarate earlier this month, and he arrived over the weekend to finalise the deal.

The 27-year-old has now passed his medical and put pen-to-paper on a three-year deal which also has an option to extend it.

The move is Zarate's second to England having spent time on loan at Birmingham City in 2008.

Speaking to Sky Sports News on Monday when he landed at Heathrow, Zarate admitted he was looking forward to the prospect of joining West Ham.

"It's a new chance for me," he said.

"West Ham called me. They are a fierce team and now I think I want to play (there)."

Zarate arrives from Velez Sarsfield, the club he began his career with before a brief stint in the Middle East with Al Sadd.

After his spell with Birmingham he was snapped up by Lazio and also had a season with Italian giants Inter Milan before he re-joined Velez last summer.

He finished last season as top-scorer in Argentina, which promoted West Ham to make their move.
