Enner Valencia hints at La Liga move

West Ham striker Enner Valencia has spoken today about a possible future move to the Spanish La Liga in an interview with Marca.

However, he hasn’t scored with the same regularity for West Ham in the Premier League. The 26-year-old has netted 15 times in 27 appearances for his country but has scored just 10 goals in 61 games in two seasons with the Hammers following his £12m move from Pachuca 2014.

Speaking with Marca this week, he stated that he would be interested in a move to L Liga as it’s one of the best leagues in the world.

I would love to play in the Spanish League, one of the best in the world. In Spain most teams play very well, seeking to have much possession and then look for the opposite goal. it is a very showy League.

With West Ham keen on adding a striker or two to their squad this summer, some of their current forwards will need to make way. With his record and unreliability in-front of goal, Enner Valencia could be the fall guy.

Whether he leaves for La Liga is another question. He has been linked with a move to China but his future in East London is under threat.

matchday.
