Beasley making possible move to Puebla

According to mlssoccer.com, DaMarcus Beasley is on the verge of completing a move to join Mexican Priméra División club Puebla on a two-year contract.

“[Beasley] has not signed as yet,” Lyle Yorks told MLSsoccer.com. “The deal is likely, but he is a Hannover player. There still needs to be an agreement in place between Hannover and Puebla.”

Yorks indicated it might take a few days for the clubs to make final arrangements and Puebla have said that they expect Beasley to officially join the team for preseason training on Monday.

“The player has accepted to come to Puebla,” Ricardo Henaine told FutbolMLS.com on Wednesday. “Hopefully it will work out for us like it did with Herculez [Gomez], who was a top scorer with us in his first season. For us, to bring in an American player with [Beasley's] characteristics and together with the Mexican talent [at Puebla], I am sure he will become a star that no one is expecting.”

Having the 29 year old Beasley on any team would be a welcomed addition. His speed and natural athleticism could add depth and experience to a young squad like Puebla. Hopefully more details will emerge on Thursday, which we will be sure to keep you updated.
