# Where is Mauro Zarate now?

Mauro Zarate has featured in leagues all over the world during his career, including a short spell in England with West Ham, who he seems to still [have a fondness for.](https://www.instagram.com/p/B94KT6on74m/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)

The attacker left a very sweet impression during his stay with the Hammers, scoring seven times and registering three assists in 29 appearances for the London club ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mauro-zarate/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/26456)).

In January 2016, Zarate left the Hammers to join Serie A side Fiorentina ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/10138717/mauro-zarate-leaves-west-ham-to-join-fiorentina)). He then returned to English football, [joining Watford](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/22/watford-agree-deal-mauro-zarate-fiorentina), before having a [loan spell](https://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/asian-football/727912/watford-mauro-zarate-joins-al-nasr-loan/) in the Middle East with Al-Nasr as he struggled to really settle at one club.

However, he now seems to have found a home back in his native country, where he is tasting success.

Many [Hammers fans](https://twitter.com/IronworkTours/status/1243976407857926145) still rave about him on social media and feel he could have gone on to become so much better for the team.
