West Ham winger on verge of La Liga switch

West Ham midfielder Pablo Barrera is set to complete a move to Real Zaragoza.

Barrera has struggled to find his best form in England following his £4m move to Upton Park last summer.

The Mexico international was a star performer for his country at the Gold Cup during the summer and is determined to get his career back on track.

Reports in Spain suggest that the La Liga side are hopeful that a deal can be finalised in the next 24 hours and he can start training with his new team-mates on Wednesday.

Barrera appeared as a late substitute for West Ham during their 1-0 defeat against Cardiff on Sunday but he appears to have no long-term future under Sam Allardyce.
