Transfer update

West Ham United are pleased to announce the club should be in a position to unveil at least one exciting new signing on Friday.

With the first-team squad flying out from London Heathrow to their German training camp on Friday morning, the hard work on bringing new faces to the Boleyn Ground is continuing, with an announcement expected to be made before the end of the day.

The latest transfer update comes after the club's first summer signing, Germany midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger, produced a confident debut display in Wednesday's 2-1 pre-season victory at Peterborough United.

The club is hoping to bring in at least two more new faces, adding international strength to Avram Grant's squad ahead of the start of the new Barclays Premier League season.

The Hammers will touch down in south east Germany on Friday afternoon for an eight-day training camp that includes matches against Bundesliga side VfL Borussia Monchengladbach and Greek champions Panathinaikos.

The travelling party, which includes Scott Parker and youngsters Matt Fry, Anthony Edgar and Cristian Montano, will be joined by England duo Robert Green and Matthew Upson in the next few days.

The new signings should all make their Boleyn bow in the SBOBET Cup in aid of the Academy against RC Deportivo La Coruna on Saturday 7 August before the Premier League gets under way seven days later.
