West Ham midfielder Sebastian Lletget ready for Athletic Bilbao test

West Ham United midfielder Sebastian Lletget is looking forward to their Barclays U21 Premier League International Cup tie with Athletic Bilbao.

Lletget is expecting a tough game.

He told whufc.com: "I expect them to keep the ball well, like a typical Spanish side. They'll be very good on the ball. We're going to counter at them with pace and concentrate on the things that we're good at."

Nick Haycock's men will also host Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven and London rivals Fulham in their Barclays U21 Premier League International Cup Group B.
