West Ham United are still willing to sell Enner Valencia and have told West Brom that a bid of £12 million will be enough for a deal to happen, according to The Birmingham Mail.

The Hammers have been busy recruiting new players this summer and have a plethora of options in the final third following the addition of Andre Ayew and Jonathan Calleri to Slaven Bilic’s squad.

This has left the east London club over-allocated in attacking areas, with five players vying for a starting berth to lead the line for the ambitious Premier League club.

Valencia has shown glimpses of brilliance since signing for West Ham after the 2014 World Cup but the Ecuador international was plagued by injuries last term.

With Ayew, Calleri and Andy Carroll expected to be ahead of the South American in Bilic’s preferences, and Diafra Sakho still on the books, the Clarets are reportedly willing to allow Valencia to leave.

The recuperation of £12 million would be a fair return for the Ecuadorian and offer West Brom a player able to consistently score in the Premier League.
