Zarate reveals desire to stay at Inter

The Argentine attacker admits he would rather remain at San Siro on a permanent basis than return to parent club Lazio after converting the winner on Sunday afternoon.Mauro Zarate has confessed that he would prefer to stay at Inter rather than return to Lazio at the end of the season after scoring in Sunday\'s 2-1 victory over Cesena in Serie A.The striker arrived on a season-long loan from Lazio last August, but initially struggled to break into the first-team plans of previous coaches Gian Piero Gasperini and Claudio Ranieri, leading to Zarate stating himself that his career in northern Italy looked all-but-over.However, since the appointment of former Primavera boss Andrea Stramaccioni at the helm on an interim basis, the 25-year-old has flourished under his guidance and scored in the 2-1 success over the Seahorses on Sunday, and he now appears to have had a change of heart.\"A return to Lazio? We must wait and see what happens, but honestly I\'d rather stay here,\" Zarate said after the game.\"Stramaccioni is the type of coach who is able to give us the right impetus. He has brought an enthusiasm that was not present at club this season.\"Inter move to fifth in the Serie A standings, level on points with Napoli and Lazio in the last remaining Champions League qualifying spot.
