West Ham loans out unsettled winger

Pablo Barrera has joined Spanish club Real Zaragoza on loan from West Ham United for the 2011/12 season. The Hammers made the announcement on Thursday and outlined the reason why the winger has been allowed to leave for the Primera Division team. "West Ham United have allowed Pablo Barrera to join Real Zaragoza on a season-long loan," reads a statement on the club's official website. "The 24-year-old has been loaned out after struggling to adapt to life in London since arriving from Mexico because of language difficulties and personal reasons. "He started the 2-1 defeat by Aldershot Town on Wednesday night, before travelling to Spain on Thursday for a medical." Barrera joined the Championship club from Nacional last summer and will hope for better performances and a more suitable life in Spain. The Mexican is available to play for Zaragoza in their league clash with Real Madrid on Sunday evening.
