SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Ecuador have a "spectacular" forward in West Ham United's Enner Valencia who only needs to gain a bit more confidence in the English Premier league to join soccer's elite, according to national coach Sixto Vizuete.
Valencia was his country's standout player at this year's World Cup, scoring all three of their goals, and is sure to be at the forefront of Ecuador's Copa America title challenge in Chile next year.
