Agent: 'Enner Valencia wants to leave West Ham United'

Enner Valencia's agent Gonzalo Vargas has suggested that the West Ham United attacker could leave the Premier League team before the start of the new season.

The Ecuadorian international endured a mixed year with the Hammers last season, but his representative has said that both Lazio and Roma are interested in his signature as he looks for a way out of the East London outfit.

Vargas is quoted by Lalaziosiamonoi.it as saying: "He wants to leave, although he is not making an obsession out of it because, unlike some reports, he does have a good relationship both with the coach and with his teammates.

"He wants to play at the top - in Italy, Spain or England - and the decision over his future will be determined 100% by sporting elements and not economic ones.

"Lazio have shown a real interest and that's an option that Enner is particularly keen on. Roma also like him, but only Lazio have made a move through their management."

Valencia has scored 10 goals in 61 appearances for West Ham since joining the club in 2014.
