Argentine young gun Mauro Zarate is set to begin life at Lazio and he claims that he can live up to the hype.
The 21-year-old striker arrives on loan and President Claudio Lotito [pictured] has greeted his signature with huge enthusiasm.
The Biancocelesti chief is sure that Zarate will be a star and has promised to “build a side around him”, but the new boy doesn’t seem to be feeling the pressure.
“I dreamed of playing in Italy and I am happy to have arrived at Lazio,” he said.
“Lots of teams wanted me, but nobody made as much effort as the Biancocelesti.
“I want to repeat what I have done in Argentina and I want to score two goals against Roma.
“I know that this can be a difficult environment but I’m not scared. I am a good dribbler, I can play from deep and I can exploit my pace.”
