West Ham are set to complete the sale of Mexico international Pablo Barrera to Cruz Azul.

Barrera joined the Hammers for £3 million from Club Universidad Nacional in 2010, but has made just six starts in the league for the east London club - spending much of last season on loan at Spanish side Real Zaragoza.

After an unhappy spell, West Ham are close to confirming the winger's return to his homeland - although they are unlikely to recoup the fee they paid for him in a deal that includes various add-ons and clauses.

"We only need to fix some details with West Ham about incentives," Cruz Azul president Guillermo Alvarez Macias said.
