West Ham United striker Mauro Zarate is delighted with his loan move to QPR.

Zarate seized the chance to "show what I can do" in the Premier League with QPR, after a frustrating run since joining West Ham last summer.

"I am happy. I need this, I need to play and Queens Park Rangers have given me this chance to show what I can do," said Zarate.

"The Premier League is the best in the world at this moment.

"Does my style suit the Premier League? Maybe. We will see!

"When I met the manager he told me he wanted to sign me for Portsmouth before, but in that moment I went to Lazio. But now I am here and will play for him.

"I will try to do different things with the ball, some skills to make the difference for the team, for me and for the other players. I am fit and I hope I can be involved on Saturday."
