Enner Remberto Valencia Lastra (born 4 November 1989) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Everton, on loan from fellow Premier League club West Ham United, and the Ecuador national team. He is nicknamed "Superman".
He has previously played for Emelec in Ecuador, where he won Serie A and was awarded the Copa Sudamericana Golden Boot in 2013. He also played for Pachuca in Mexico, being awarded the Liga MX Golden Boot in the 2014 Clausura tournament. He joined West Ham for an estimated £12 million in July 2014.
At international level, Valencia has over 30 caps for Ecuador since his debut in 2012. He represented the nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2015 Copa América, and is their top joint scorer with Agustin Delgado in World Cup tournaments with 3 goals. Valencia is one of Ecuador's top ten goalscorers of all time with 19 goals.
Valencia came to Guayaquil to trial for Emelec in 2008 from Caribe Junior's youth system, the same team where Ecuador star Antonio Valencia played in his early years. In 2008, he was transferred to Emelec. From 2008 to early 2010 he received no opportunities in the first team, but with the arrival of the Argentinian coach Jorge Sampaoli, Valencia started to receive playtime opportunities. Valencia's first professional career goal was on March 10, scoring the only goal to gain an important away win against Ecuadorian giants LDU Quito. Emelec were runners-up to champions LDU Quito, losing 2–1 on aggregate score.
