Valencia linked with Swansea or Stoke exit

Head of Sport for the Daily Mail and West Ham fan Lee Clayton claims both Swansea and Stoke are interested in signing Hammer Enner Valencia on transfer deadline day.

Clayton tweeted: “Transfer latest: Enner Valencia to Swansea City, talks taking place. Other interest in Valencia from Stoke but Swansea leading the field. He’s lost his way at West Ham”

Other reports suggest the Swansea approach is a season long loan with an option to buy.

Aston Villa owner and chairman, Dr_Tony Xia has ended speculation of Valencia joining Villa.

Fan site ‘The Villa Zone’ held a twitter poll with 4,292 Villa fans voting on whether they wanted Enner Valencia to join. Although 40% said Yes a resounding 60% said No.

The chairman responded saying “No need to vote. I called a stop after I watched three games!”

Last week the Daily Mail said Championship side Norwich were interested in the Ecuador international while the Birmingham Mail said West Bromwich Albion could still make a late approach before the transfer deadline finishes on Wednesday.
