UNAM Pumas have confirmed that they have agreed a deal with West Ham United for Pablo Barrera.

Barrera's future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks following a string of impressive performances for his country at the World Cup.

Employed as an impact substitute in South Africa, Barrera caught the eye with his lightning pace and helped Mexico reach the last 16.

His displays reportedly attracted the attention of several European clubs including Espanyol, Celtic and West Ham's Premier League rivals Everton.

But it is the Hammers who have won the chase for the 23-year-old's signature, snapping him up for an undisclosed fee believed to be in the region of £4million.

The president of Pumas, Victor Mahbub, announced the transfer was now completed and Barrera would travel to England this weekend.

"We have just finished the negotiations for transferring Pablo Barrera to West Ham. We and the player are satisfied with the arrangement that we have done with West Ham," Mahbub told Mediotiempo.

Four-year deal

"Barrera will be signing a four-year contract, then in two or three years be transferred to another team.

"We got to a satisfactory agreement for both parts and I want to make clear that there wasn't any agent involved in the negotiations, everything was done from one club to the other and for respecting both teams we have arranged the transfer."

Barrera himself stated he was looking forward to his move and said: "I have been informed during the afternoon on Friday that my transfer to West Ham has been arranged.

"Now I am starting to get very anxious about travelling to England so I can join my new team, know my team-mates, the stadium, the city, everything."

Could be a decent addition or could easily flop, will be an interesting one.

Agree, vela and dos santos still looked better than him and they've done nothing here

if Vela was called John Smith he'd be in league 1 imo

Carlos Vela, lack of technical ability?

SCG, in my opinion, you look for attention but over-exaggerating your likes/dislikes for a player.

Aurelio - Okay, you might not like him, but he's still alot better than most left back's in the league.

Rooney - Okay, you might not rate him that highly but he's still without doubt in the top 10 strikers in the world and better than Bent.

Vela - Clearly very talented footballer, maybe not top class, who knows but certainly a very good player who will play in a top division in one of the better leagues across Europe.

Delfouneso - Better than Drogba in 2 years.

Grealish - 10x more ability than Johnson.

You'd get alot more debating if you actually didn't over do anything.

If you don't like a player, you think he's the worst in the world, if you like a player, he's suddenly the best. There is no middle with you it seems.
