They revealed the news during a live broadcast but confirmed the developments on Twitter this afternoon, stating *‘Enner Valencia has reached an agreement in principle with Galatasaray*‘.

It has been no secret that Valencia has been eager to secure a move away from East London this summer following two less than successful seasons with the club following his £12m move from Pachuca.

For a long time a move to Lazio was on the cards with Valencia already agreeing to the move but West Ham struggled to agree a deal with the Serie A side, with Lazio favouring a loan deal and the Hammers eyeing a permanent sale.

West Ham would like to recoup as much of the £12m they shelled out for Valencia as possible, but not before a replacement is signed and through the doors.

Valencia has scored just 10 goals in 61 appearances for West Ham since his 2014 arrival, and perhaps a move would be best for all involved. With the Ecuadorian striker giving his consent to a move to Turkey, it’s now up to Galatasaray to agree a fee for the striker.
