THERE is growing speculation that Arsenal are lining up a bid for Birmingham City striker Mauro Zarate.
The Argentine forward has caught the eye of Arsene Wenger after a series of impressive performances for the Blues, although it wasn't enough to save them from relegation.
Zarate, 21, joined Birmingham on-loan from Qatar club Al-Sadd, but he hopes to remain in the premier league, with Arsenal touted as a potential destination.
