Luis Boa Morte says he is mystified as to why he is not playing more often.
The 31-year-old winger joined the Hammers two years ago next month in a £5million switch from Fulham, but has generally failed to impress at the Boleyn Ground.However the former Portuguese international - whose most recent appearance came in the 0-0 draw at Liverpool - still feels that he deserved more minutes on the pitch.
"I cannot hide that I would like to play more, " he said. "I have no idea why I am not played more.
"Every time the coach played me, I did well on the pitch, which is why I wish I played more often."
Boa Morte, who has a year and a half remaining on his current contract, added that he had looked into the possibility of returning to Portugal to end his career - but added that he had received no rock-solid offers recently.
"At the moment nothing’s for sure," he added, "but whatever happens, West Ham United will need my agreement if they want to make a deal."
Boa Morte was an unused substitute in last night's 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham.
