President claims Argentine is not for sale

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has denied any rumours that Mauro Zarate is being chased by Tottenham. The Argentine striker has been consistently linked with a host of Europe's top clubs after becoming one of the Rome-based side's key players. Despite Spurs' significant squad size, Harry Redknapp may consider reinforcing his forward line. However Zarate, who had a successful spell with Birmingham in 2008, is not up for sale according to Lotito. "Tottenham? There haven't been negotiations involving Zarate", Lotito told ANSA. "The Argentinian remains a fundamental player for Lazio and there is no case for Zarate. The player is pampered by the club and he must think only of playing."
