Arsenal ready for Zarate bid

Mauro Zarate's agent has revealed some top Premiership clubs are in the market for his client's signature. The Birmingham forward was on loan at St. Andrews from Al-Saad and is ready to return to Qatar.

"He's in discussions with two top English sides at the moment," his agent Christian Otero told BBC Sport.

"Al-Saad had quoted about £20m for him but I think he will go for about £10m."

Otero added: "I expect to have more details regarding Mauro's future next week."

It appears that Arsenal are believed to be among some of the clubs interested in Zarate, whilst Chelsea have also been linked with the forward.
