Enner Valencia is currently on loan at Everton from West Ham United, and he is keen to stay at Goodison Park.
Enner Valencia may want a move to Everton (official website), but there is no way that Ronald Koeman should sanction a permanent transfer.
Valencia has been a perfectly fine loan addition for this season, but he is not a long-term solution for the Toffees.
The 27-year-old has made just three Premier League starts, and has never really suggested that he will ever become anything more than a covering option for Everton since signing from West Ham United.
Although Valencia does possess pace and power, he simply isn’t of the quality required – if Everton are to break into the Champions League qualification spaces.
The Toffees have expressed a desire to move into the top four in the near future, but to do so they will need better than Valencia.
In a week where Everton’s ambition has been questioned by their own striker, Romelu Lukaku, all eyes will be on their summer transfer business.
And Everton will not be proving Lukaku wrong by bringing in players like Valencia in.
Instead, the Toffees should be looking to snap up high profile additions, to prove that they are ready to back up Ronald Koeman’s words and break into the top four.
