Ahead of what is seen as a hugely significant pre-season, with pressure on the club and new boss Graham Potter to steer the club into a successful new era in east London, our club insider has advised that the club have plans in place ahead of our trip to the USA.
As has already been reported, West Ham are set to take part in a tour of the States, which sees Potter side take part in the Premier League Summer Series 2025.
West Ham will join Bournemouth, Everton and Manchester United for a four-team pre-season tournament, with double-header fixtures to be played in New Jersey, Chicago and Atlanta.
We kick off the tour against Manchester United at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, on Saturday 26 July – the venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final.
Following that we head to Soldier Field in Chicago to take on Everton on Wednesday 30 July, before taking on Bournemouth at the Mercedez-Benz Stadium in Georgia on Sunday 3 August.
Ahead of this, it has been revealed by Ex that West Ham will be heading to Austrian fitness camp, ahead of a behind-closed-doors game against Zurich Grasshoppers.
As was exclusively reported previously, West Ham will host Lille at the London Stadium, in what is rumoured to be called the Boylesport Cup.
