Watford are in talks with Fiorentina over a possible loan deal for Mauro Zarate, sources close to the Premier League club have told ESPN FC.
Watford boss Walter Mazzarri is keen to add to his attacking options during this month's transfer window to help his side out of their current slump in form and he has identified a move for the former Birmingham City, West Ham United and Queens Park Rangers forward.
The Hornets have struggled for goals this season -- only four teams have scored fewer -- and Mazzarri sees Zarate as someone who can score and provide goals at Vicarage Road.
