West Ham will look to build on their positive start to pre season as they travel to Germany this weekend.

Avram Grant’s side will incorporate their trip to the German training camp with friendlies against VfL Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday and Panathinaikos next Friday as the Hammers’ pre season continues.

The Irons beat League One outfit Peterborough on Tuesday in their first friendly of pre-season with a 2-1 victory. However, it seems almost certain that their next two games will provide much stiffer competition for the East Londoners.
