Valencia hesitates on big offer

CandH Exclusive

Enner Valencia is dithering about a move to Aston Villa despite being made a massive personal terms offer.

The new Chinese owner businessman Dr Tony Xia is desperate to sign the Ecuador striker and has offered the Irons around £10 million over three years.

ClaretandHugh has learned that Valencia’s personal terms would dwarf what he is earning at West Ham but he isn’t keen to step down into the Championship.

However he knows that once the Hammers have brought in new strikers he won’t get a shout at a first team slot so has a decision to make over the next four days.

Villa are the only club to have shown an interest in the player and although the deal is not yet off, the midlands outfit are having to look elsewhere as the striker drags his feet on their offer.

The Ecuador international knows he has no future at West Ham and that is the issue which could finally focus his mind on the move.
