Soccer Betting Lines

07/16/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mexico international Pablo Barrera completed his move to West Ham on Friday, the club announced.

The 23-year-old winger has moved to Upton Park from Mexican side UNAM Pumas on a four-year contract with a one-year option for a fee of $6 million.

Barrera is now the third player brought to London by new manager Avram Grant, joining midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger and striker Frederic Piquionne, who also signed with West Ham on Friday from Lyon.

"I knew about West Ham when I was in Mexico," Barrera told the club's official website. "They are a big club and I have heard about the great players they have had in the past. I have heard a lot more about the club and its traditions since I have been in London and I am very excited to be here."

Barrera featured in three of Mexico's four games at the World Cup in South Africa and he was also part of Mexico's Under-20 World Cup team that reached the quarterfinal round in 2007.
