Irons to boost summer kitty by £10m for striker

West Ham are looking to boost their transfer kitty by another £10 million via Enner Valencia.

The Ecuador international has enjoyed a decent loan spell with Everton who have first refusal of the player written into the agreement.

Valencia has scored three times in his 23 appearances for the Toffees – often as a sub – and has justified the faith which Ronald Koeman showed in him when releasing him from what had become a Hammers hell.

Now the Irons – who had paid £12 million for the striker – expect Everton to complete the deal at around £10 million but will stick firmly to those terms.

Valencia has no interest in a Hammers return even were he wanted and should the Toffees not come up with the fee he will be very much offer to other clubs.

Slaven Bilic was left unimpressed by the player’s work rate and he clearly has no future at the London Stadiumunder the manager.
