West Ham boosted as Chelsea target CONFIRMS he wants to remain at club
WEST HAM have been boosted with Enner Valencia reaffirming his commitment to the club.
Enner Valencia is happy at West Ham
Valencia showed glimpses of potential at Upton Park this season but struggled as Sam Allardyce's side slumped to a 12th-placed finish in the latter part of the season.
The Ecuadorian had been linked with an £11m move to Chelsea, with Jose Mourinho said to be keen on the player's raw pace.
I really enjoyed my 1st season with West Ham and i am already looking forward to next season.
And the 25-year-old put Hammers fans on alert after admitting that the Blues were not the only side interested in his services and that he could be interested in a move.
He said: "We are going to see what happens after the Copa America - a competition in which I think we are going to do good things.
"I have heard of the [interest from] Chelsea, yes. And other teams. But we are going to wait. You have to see what happens.

"If it is for my good and that of West Ham, then it is welcome."
But the player took to Twitter this afternoon to clarify his quotes, saying: "I really enjoyed my 1st season with West Ham and i am already looking forward to next season."
