Lazio are considering a move for West Ham United forward Enner Valencia, with the Hammers claimed to want between €10m and €12m for the Ecuador international.

Incoming Lazio coach Marcelo Bielsa is keen to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the new season and is looking to South Americans to make the difference.




According to Italian daily Il Messaggero, West Ham's Valencia is in the picture and the Hammers want between €10m and €12m to agree to a sale.

Valencia joined the London side for a reported £12m in 2014, signing a five-year deal with the Haammers.
 


The 26-year-old made just 19 appearances in the Premier League for Slaven Bilic's men last term, with injuries disrupting his season.

Another option for Lazio is Brazilian forward Alexandre Pato.

No stranger to Italian football, given a spell with AC Milan, Pato spent the second half of last season on loan at Chelsea.

He took time to reach full fitness though, with the Brazilian season having ended before his move to Stamford Bridge, and failed to make an impact with the Blues.
