Chelsea 'plot summer bid for Enner Valencia'

Chelsea 'plot summer Valencia bid'

Chelsea will reportedly launch a summer raid on West Ham United for striker Enner Valencia.

The Blues completed a deal for Juan Cuadrado before last week's transfer deadline, with Mohamed Salah and Andre Schurrle leaving the club.

However, the Daily Star claims that Jose Mourinho is looking for more attacking options to add to his squad as he considers in what capacity to best use veteran forward Didier Drogba next season.

It is thought that Valencia is seen as an ideal replacement for the departed Schurrle.

Furthermore, the Hammers are reportedly scouting for new forwards as they expect to lose the Ecuadorian international if Chelsea come calling.
