West Ham close to deal for Mexico's Barrera

Soccer Betting Lines

07/15/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - West Ham United manager Avram Grant has confirmed that Mexico international Pablo Barrera is close to finalizing a 4million transfer to Upton Park.

The 23-year-old winger, who is currently with UNAM Pumas, is set to sign a four-year contract with the Hammers.

Everton and Celtic were also reported to be interested in signing Barrera, but Pumas president Victor Mahbub claimed earlier in the month that the Hammers had won the race to sign a player who made three appearances for his country at the recent World Cup in South Africa.

Grant has confirmed his interest in the player, telling Sky Sports News: "He is more of a winger and he can play on either side. He is a very good player and is good for the vision of the club.

"We are trying to bring in players of a good age and develop them. He's a good player. We are trying to bring in a few more players that can improve the team, improve the squad.

"Our target is to make signings this week, but we cannot talk about them until they are done. In football anything can happen until the last moment."

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
