Club career

edit

Emelec

edit

Enner 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.[3] In 2008, he was transferred to Emelec.[3] 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.[3] Emelec were runners-up to champions L.D.U. Quito, losing 2–1 on aggregate score.[4]

Valencia scored nine league goals in 30 league matches in 2011.[5] In November 2012, he scored five goals in five separate matches against El Nacional, LDU Loja, Técnico Universitario, and twice against Manta in both home and away matches, winning four of the five matches, only drawing against LDU Loja.[5] This brought his goal tally to 13 goals scored in 40 league matches played, his best season yet, but for a third season in a row, the team was runner-up to league champions and club rivals Barcelona SC.[5]

On 7 August 2013, Valencia scored his first career hat-trick against Peruvian side Sport Huancayo, in a 4–0 2013 Copa Sudamericana first round match.[5][6] He finished the season as league champions with Emelec, the club's first since 2002.[7]

Pachuca

edit

After numerous rumours involving the interest of Liga MX side Pachuca for Valencia, both parties came to terms and agreed on a transfer.[8]

On 18 January 2014, Valencia scored his first goal in a 2–1 victory against Tijuana.[9] The following week he scored two goals to in Pachuca's first away win league match against league champions Club León.[10] He finished the regular season as the top goal-scorer with 12 goals, scoring various braces for Pachuca. Valencia scored his first hat-trick against UNAM in a 2–4 away win to advance in the 2014 Liga MX Clausura play-offs.[11]

West Ham United

edit

2014–15

edit

On 29 July 2014, Premier League club West Ham United completed the transfer of Valencia, on a five-year contract for a fee estimated at £12 million.[12] He later confirmed that he knew little about West Ham before signing and that he mainly knew of them having watched hooligan films such as the 2005 release of Green Street starring Elijah Wood.[13] Valencia made his West Ham debut on 16 August 2014 in a 1–0 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur coming on as an 81st-minute substitute for Carlton Cole.[14] On 27 August, he had his penalty saved by Mark Howard as West Ham were knocked out at home in the second round of the League Cup by Sheffield United.[15] Valencia's first goal for West Ham came in his full league debut, against Hull City on 15 September 2014, in a 2–2 draw.[16] The 25-yard (23 m; 75 ft) strike, timed at 61 miles per hour (98 km/h), was described by journalist Henry Winter of The Daily Telegraph as an "exceptional goal".[17] Valencia went on to score two more goals for West Ham in the following weeks, including a header in a 3–1 away win at Burnley,[18] and a goal in a 2–2 draw with Stoke City.[19]

2015–16

edit

His first match of his second season was on 30 July 2015 in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg at home against Astra Giurgiu; he headed West Ham into the lead but was one of two players substituted through injury in the first half as the team eventually drew 2–2.[20] It was confirmed that he had suffered "significant" injuries to his right knee and ankle,[21] and was ruled out for twelve weeks.[22] Valencia scored his first league goals of the 2015–16 season with two in a 3–1 comeback win against AFC Bournemouth on 12 January 2016, including a powerfully hit free-kick.[23]

Loan to Everton

edit

On 31 August 2016, Valencia signed for Everton on a season-long loan, with the option of a permanent £14.5 million move in the summer of 2017.[24] Valencia scored his first league goal for Everton when he fired home from close range in a 3–0 win against Southampton on 2 January 2017.[25]

Tigres UANL

edit

On 13 July 2017, Valencia signed for Tigres UANL for a fee of 4.2 million.[26]

Fenerbahçe

edit

2020–21 season

edit

On 28 August 2020, Valencia signed for Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe on a free transfer.[27] In his first year with the team, he scored 12 goals in 34 matches of 2020–21 Süper Lig.

2021–22 season

edit

On 26 August 2021, he made his first hat-trick with the team against HJK Helsinki in 2021–22 UEFA Europa League season and Fenerbahçe won the game 5-2[28] He scored 13 goals in all competitives of 33 matches.

2022–23 season

edit

He made a very strong start to the 2022–23 season with coach Jorge Jesus and recorded braces against Ümraniyespor, Kasımpaşa and Adana Demirspor in his first three matches of the season. On 15 January 2023, he also scored a brace against Gaziantep.[29]

On 9 October 2022, he scored his first hat-trick in a league match against Karagümrük in 2022–23 Süper Lig season and Fenerbahçe won the match 5–4[30] and on 29 January 2023, he scored 4 goals against Kasımpaşa and helped Fenerbahçe to a 5–1 victory.[31]

He also recorded braces against Konyaspor and Alanyaspor in the season.

In total, Valencia scored 29 goals, becoming the top scorer in the Süper Lig.

SC Internacional

edit

On 12 June 2023, Valencia signed a three-year contract with Série A club Internacional on a free transfer, signing with the Colorado club for three years.[32] He made his debut for the team on July 9, starting in a 2-0 loss to Fluminense at Maracanã. The player had a rather discreet performance, without any shots on goal and was substituted at halftime.

He scored his first goal for the club on August 1st, but couldn't prevent the comeback defeat of 2-1 to River Plate at Monumental de Nuñez, in a match valid for the Round of 16 of the Libertadores.

After advancing against River Plate, Internacional traveled to La Paz to face Bolívar in a quarter-final match of the Copa Libertadores. At the 16th minute of the game, Enner received a good pass from Alan Patrick and advanced alone against the Bolivian team's defenders, successfully finishing with a powerful and unstoppable shot into the lower right corner of the goalkeeper Lampe. The forward emerged as a hero in the Colorado's victory in high altitude, alongside Uruguayan goalkeeper Rochet, who made important saves.

International career

edit

After playing for the nation's under-22 team at the 2011 Pan American Games, Valencia made his debut for Ecuador on 12 February 2012 in a friendly against Honduras.[2]

Valencia initially began his career as a winger, but was converted to play as a striker by Emelec coach Gustavo Quinteros. Reinaldo Rueda started experimenting with Valencia as a striker after the untimely death of Christian Benítez.[33] After making three appearances in the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign, he scored his first international goal in a 2–2 draw against Honduras on 19 November 2013. He continued his good form in 2014, scoring in three of Ecuador's four pre-tournament friendlies. On 5 March, he scored, assisted a goal and won a penalty kick as La Tri came from 3–0 down to defeat Australia 4–3.[2] He then scored the team's only goal in a 3–1 loss against Mexico, and gave them an early lead in a 2–2 draw with England in Miami.[34]

In June 2014, Valencia was named in Ecuador's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.[35] On 15 June, he made his FIFA World Cup debut in the team's opening match against Switzerland at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha in Brasília, opening the scoring with a header in a 2–1 defeat.[36] In Ecuador's second match, Valencia scored both goals to defeat Honduras 2–1 in Curitiba.[37] He continued his good form after the FIFA World Cup, scoring the third goal of a 4–0 victory against Bolivia. On 10 October, Valencia again netted for Ecuador in the 88th minute over the United States, which ended in a 1–1 draw. His swerving, right-footed shot took a right turn on its way towards the goal, making it impossible for goalkeeper Brad Guzan to stop.[38]

In Ecuador's second group match at the 2015 Copa América in Chile, Valencia successfully converted a penalty to Bolivia, but the kick had to be taken again due to an opponent's infringement; the re-take was saved by Romel Quiñónez. He later scored from close range, but Ecuador lost 2–3 nonetheless.[39] Four days later in Rancagua, Valencia set up Miller Bolaños' opener and scored Ecuador's second goal as they won 2–1 against Mexico, eliminating the opponents.[40]

On 8 October 2021, in a 2022 World Cup qualification match against Bolivia, Valencia scored his 32nd and 33rd international goals, becoming the Ecuador national team's all time top goal scorer.[41]

In the opening game of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Valencia scored the first goal of the tournament with a penalty. Valencia scored both of Ecuador's goals in the same match, their 2–0 win over tournament hosts Qatar in the opening match at the 2022 World Cup.[42] In doing so, he became Ecuador's record goalscorer at World Cup final tournaments, with five goals.[43] On 25 November 2022, Valencia scored in a 1–1 tie against the Netherlands, thus becoming the first South American player to score six consecutive times in the World Cup.[44] Valencia scored the only goal in the victory over Peru on 10 September 2024 for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Personal life

edit

Valencia hails from Esmeraldas Province and is of Afro-Ecuadorian descent. He came from a poor family and when he arrived at Emelec, he had to sleep in rudimentary lodgings at the club's Estadio George Capwell, as he had no money to stay anywhere else and at times struggled to buy enough to eat.[33] In October 2016, a warrant was issued for his arrest in Ecuador for unpaid child support.[45] In August 2020, Valencia's sister, Erci was taken hostage in San Lorenzo by an armed gang and held for 10 days before being released unharmed.[46]
