West Ham striker Enner Valencia remains a transfer target for West Brom this summer as their striker search continues, reports the Birmingham Mail.
The 26-year-old is eager to leave West Ham this summer to secure a fresh start elsewhere, but no move has materialised just yet.
There was intense talk of a move to Lazio but the Serie A club failed to agree a deal with the Hammers for the Ecuadorian despite the player giving his consent for the move to go ahead.
West Brom are interested in signing Valencia this summer as Tony Pulis remains keen on bringing in one more striker to the club to partner Salomon Rondon.
The Baggies are resigned to losing Saido Berahino either this summer or next and recruiting another striker would allow them to cash-in on the Englishman this summer with both Crystal Palace and Stoke believed to be willing to pay at least £20m for Berahino.
Valencia meanwhile can leave for a fee in the region of £12m as the Hammers look to recoup what they paid to sign the striker from Pachuca in 2014. In the two years since, Valencia has been very hot and cold, scoring just 10 goals in 63 competitive games across all competitions.
