Valencia to Lazio

Fresh reports today from Italy media suggest that Enner Valencia could be on verge of loan deal with Lazio with an option to buy at the end of the season.

Reports earlier this week claimed West Ham rejected a £10m offer from Lazio. Sky Italia, reported the Hammers were set to reject Lazio’s original offer and  countered saying they would like at least £13m for the 26-year-old.

Sky Italia journalist Gianluca di Marzio claimed today that Valencia has agreed terms to a season-long loan switch to Serie A side Lazio.

Valencia has scored 10 goals in 61 appearances for West Ham after his £12m move from Mexican side Pachuca in the summer of 2014.

Whether West Ham will release Valencia before tying up a replacement deal or allow him to go out on loan remains to be keen.
