Enner Valenica is set to leave West Ham this summer to join Mexican first division side Tigres UANL, according to reports from The Sunday People.

The Ecuadorian forward spent last season on-loan at Everton with the option to make the deal permanent this summer, however after spooking only 3 times in  23 appearances, it is understood the Toffees are happy for the player to return to the London Stadium.

That return is likely to be short-lived however, as Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is allegedly happy to let the striker leave the club this summer as he no longer features in his plan for the upcoming season.

Valencia was signed by West Ham for a fee reported to be in the region of £12 million from Liga MX side Pachucha back in 2014, once scoring a hat-trick against the club now interested in him to help his former side reach the 2014 play-offs.

The Ecuador striker scored the second goal of his country’s recent 3-0 victory over El Salvador, taking his international tally to 20 in just over 30 appearances.
