West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says Nene could make his debut against Crystal Palace.

Allardyce wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Nene will be in the squad tomorrow.

"He's an intelligent player, good technically, finds space. He just has to cope with the physical aspect of the game and if he can do that, the talent and experience is definitely there and since he's travelled from Brazil to join us, so is the desire."
