Fuming West Ham ace ‘holds talks’ over future

West Ham playmaker Nene has spoken with manager Sam Allardyce about his future at the club, according to MirrorFootball.

The for PSG star arrived in east London on a short-term deal in February after leaving Qatar outfit Al-Gharafa.

But the 33-year-old Brazilian has managed just six substitute appearances since then, and it is believed he is fuming with the lack of first team opportunities, particularly during a spell where Allardyce only has strikers Carlton Cole and Enner Valencia at his disposal, following season ending injuries to Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho.

However, Nene is open to extending his stay at the Boleyn Ground beyond the summer and has spoken with Allardyce about his concerns.

The midfielder’s situation with the Hammers is similar to that of Argentine forward Mauro Zarate, who arrived at the club last summer but was rarely used by the former Bolton boss before being shipped out on loan to QPR.

Sam Allardyce’s Hammers contract expires in the summer, though, and with a huge question mark hanging over his Boleyn Ground future, Nene may be forced to wait until the managerial situation is resolved before learning of his future in the capital.
