Everton are close to securing a loan deal for West Ham striker Enner Valencia with a view to a permanent £14.5million signing.
Ronald Koeman has been looking all summer for someone to provide back-up to Romelu Lukaku and his search has taken him to Valencia.
The Ecuador striker joined from Mexican club Pachuca for £12million in 2014 and has made nearly 70 appearances for the east London club.
But the 26-year-old has slipped down the Hammers' pecking order following the summer arrivals of Simone Zaza, Ashley Fletcher and Jonathan Calleri.
