West Ham striker Enner Valencia’s proposed move to Galatasaray will be announced soon, according to Turkish source Yeni Asir.
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.
It was reported earlier this week that Valencia had agreed to a move to the Super Lig giants in principle, and a deal appears likely to be reached.
It’s believes that Galatasaray would favour a loan move with an option to buy next summer, while Turkish rivals Trabzonspor are also hoping to sign the Ecuadorian striker.
