Nene has confirmed that he is set to leave West Ham this summer.
Taking to his official Instagram account, Brazilian winger Nene confirmed that he is going to leave West Ham this summer, when his contract expires at the end of June.
He states that the club have not extended his current contract after discussions with the player, as he wishes to play at a high level for another three seasons, and playing opportunities were limited at the Boleyn Ground.
The 33-year-old ex-PSG player arrived in East London in February, signing a short-term deal until the end of this campaign, although he was used sparing by manager Sam Allardyce. He ended up making just eight appearances, starting no games, and failing to register either a single goal or assist.
With Allardyce leaving, it could have been suggested that Nene could be given a new lease of life under a new manager, but he has confirmed that talks with the club management have proved fruitless.
Clearly he does not fit into theri long-term plans for the Hammers, and it is unlikely they were willing to offer him a three-year deal at his current age.
Arriving on a free transfer, Nene failed to have the impact many expected he would have at the Boleyn Ground, and it is really no surprise that he has not extended his contract with the Hammers to play into next season.
