There have been strong rumours this week linking summer signing Mauro Zarate with a move away from Upton Park in the January window, which is not likely go down too well with much of the West Ham support.
These were sparked by comments by the Argentine’s supposed agent, who claimed that his client is unhappy at West Ham, as manager Sam Allardyce has been playing him outside of his preferred position. However Zarate himself has tweeted a response to these stories, saying on Thursday:

This is pleasing, as it would be a real shame to lose Zarate, who I feel offers something a bit different to the team in terms of trickery and guile behind the strikers. But if there is any truth to the rumours that he wants to play as an out and out front man, that looks to be an unlikely prospect at this moment in time with Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia in such fine form, and Andy Carroll now back from injury. In my view it wouldn’t be worth letting him go in January unless a very good offer came in, as he could still be very valuable proposition against certain teams.
