Jose Mourinho has been told to stump up £30million in order to take the Hammers star striker Enner Valencia from Upton Park to Stamford Bridge.
Ecuador international Enner Valencia quickly adapted to life in the Premier League after signing for West Ham from Pachuca and has now been linked with a move across London to Champions Chelsea.
The Express report that Chelsea originally looked at signing Valencia at the beginning of the year, with Serie A side Sampdoria also interested in acquiring the forward.
And now reports from the Mirror claim that West Ham have told potential suitors that they want £30million for the 25-year-old, that's more than double the £12.5million the east London side paid to bring Valencia to the Premier League less than a year ago.
The Ecuadorian appears to be open to a move to Chelsea, but only if the player and both clubs can come to an agreement that suits all parties.
"I have heard of the interest from Chelsea, yes. And other teams. But we are going to wait.” Said Valencia.
"You have to see what happens. If it is for my good and that of West Ham, then it is welcome."
