The Hammers face Holt's Canaries side in the Premier League on Saturday, and Allardyce has praised the 31-year-old striker ahead of the clash.
"If he continues to score goals at Premier level he has to be considered for England," Allardyce told reporters.
Holt scored 17 goals for Norwich last season.
