West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has touched down in Ireland.

Bilic watched on as Academy Manager & Head of Coaching and Player Development Terry Westley put the squad through their paces as preparations continue for Thursday's visit of FC Lusitans in UEFA Europa League qualifying.

Bilic is looking forward to getting started on the training pitch and he told whufc.com: “We have some players from the first team with us in Ireland and I am looking forward to seeing the youngsters too.

“I can't wait to start working with them and then when the rest of the team start on Monday."
