Zarate Hoping For Blues Stay

Last updated : 03 April 2008 By Brian Cartlidge

The in-form Argentinia striker is currently on loan from Qatar based Al-Sadd but has admitted a desire to remain in the UK for another season if possible.

"There is a good chance for me to come back here on loan but I will not know until June. I want to stay in this country," he has said.

"Birmingham was the first team in Europe who wanted to sign me when I wanted to leave Qatar and Al-Sadd so they are still my first choice for the future.

"I always wanted to come to England. I love the atmosphere and the football. It was always the target to come here.

"I like the city of Birmingham. It was quite hard to live in Qatar but I am enjoying my time here.

"I just want to find the best thing for everyone to be happy. My target is to stay in England.

"I don't want to go back to Qatar. I just want things to be clear."
