West Brom are preparing a second summer move for West Ham striker Enner Valencia this summer as it looks like Aston Villa star Jordan Ayew will snub the Baggies for the Hammers.
According to the Birmingham Mail, sources close to the Ghanaian striker believe he is ready to join his brother, Andre, in East London, with the former Swansea forward completing his move to West Ham for a club-record fee of £20.5m.
Andre’s arrival at West Ham this summer, possibly followed by his brother Jordan as well, makes Enner Valencia’s situation at the club look bleak, and having already seen a move to Lazio break down he could be made available again.
West Brom are now prepared to make a move for the Ecuador international striker who has scored just 10 goals in 61 appearances for West Ham since his £12m move from Pachuca in the summer of 2014.
The Baggies pulled out of a deal for another Hammers striker, Diafra Sakho, last week due to a failed medical, but are ready to go in for his one-time strike partner.
Valencia is eager to secure a move away from West Ham this summer and West Brom could be his only option.
