Reports from Spain suggest that Valencia have made an offer to Inter for striker Eder. With former Italian national team coach Cesare Prandelli at the helm, the club are in a perilous position in La Liga and could well see themselves involved in a relegation dogfight to keep their top-flight status. Prandelli is desperate for January reinforcements and the 30-year-old appears to be top of his wish list.
 

The Brazilian born Italian international joined the nerazzurri in January on a two-year loan deal from Sampdoria but has failed to reproduce the blistering form he showed in the port city. Having been frozen out by former boss Frank de Boer, his chances of regular first-team football under new coach Stefano Pioli again don’t look good.  

Eder is not the only Italian striker linked with Prandelli; West Ham United’s Simone Zaza is also rumoured to be one of the names that the new boss wants at his disposal.
