West Ham United's Enner Valencia has been included in Ecuador's preliminary squad for next month's Copa America.

The 25-year-old striker is one of 30 players included in Gustavo Quinteros' preliminary group for the competition which begins in Chile on June 11.

Valencia, who joined the Hammers last summer from Pachucha, has scored 11 times in just 17 outings for La Tricolor and starred at last summer's World Cup.

The Copa America is the South American version of UEFA's European Championships, though Mexico and Jamaica are competing.

A place at the 2017 Confederations Cup is guaranteed for the winners.
