Lazio look set to abandon their attempts to sign West Ham United striker Enner Valencia after the London club rejected their recent offer.
The Ecuadorian international moved to the English Premier League in 2014 from Pachuca and his performances for the Hammers caught the eye of the Biancocelesti.
After attempts to bring him to the Stadio Olimpico, however, they will probably have to set their sights elsewhere as the Sunday Express report that West Ham declined a offer of almost €12 million for the 26-year-old from the Serie A side.
Since moving to West Ham, Valencia has scored 10 goals in 61 appearances, assisting a further seven.
His first season in London saw him play in almost every one of his side’s Premier League clashes, however last year saw him miss out on half the games due to various injuries.
