Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia could be set for a Premier League exit this summer.
Valencia signed for West Ham in 2014 on a five year deal but fell out of favour under Slaven Bilic and was sent out on loan to Everton this season on a year long deal.
Now former club Pachuca are interested in bringing Valencia back to the club.

They believe they can tempt Valencia with both regular minutes ahead of the 2018 World Cup should Ecuador qualify, as well as the opportunity to play in the Club World Cup.
AS Mexico report Pachuca are hopeful of a deal, which could be either loan or permanent.

Valencia, 27, has made only four starts in the Premier League for Everton and 15 substitute appearances. He has scored three goals, taking until February to net his first.
Last season for West Ham he made only 10 starts, scoring four goals, prompting the Hammers to have an expansive search for alternatives.
The Hammers are unlikely to stand in Valencia’s way if his heart is set on a return to Pachuca and the price is right.
