Enner Valencia is set to meet the West Ham hierarchy today to discuss his future as Lazio wait for the green light from the player.
With West Ham pursuing other attackers this summer, it has been suggested that the Ecuadorian could find it hard to play regular football next season, and he has been linked with a move away from the Hammers.
Lazio have been doing all the running over the last few weeks to convince Valencia to move to Rome, and it has been claimed that their pursuit has reached a critical juncture.
According to Sky Italia, the forward is scheduled to hold talks with the West Ham hierarchy today, and is expected to convey his wish to leave the east Londoners this summer.
Lazio are waiting to receive the green light from the player before they make a concrete move for him by placing a bid on West Ham’s table in the next few days.

The Biancocelesti are confident of getting the deal over the line soon, and are keen to finalise the agreement with the player and the club as soon as possible.
Valencia joined West Ham from Pachuca in 2014, and enjoyed a fruitful first season at the club before finding himself marginalised under Slaven Bilic last term due to fitness and form.
