Thierry Nevers excited being part of first West Ham preseason

Thierry Nevers is happy taking part in his first preseason with West Ham United.

The 19-year-old forward formally completed his move to West Ham United last month after nine years with local club Reading.

"It's all coming, it's all coming," the forward admitted to whufc.com, when asked if his move had sunk in yet. “Maybe when the season starts it will all come in, but it's a good opportunity for me.

“I didn't really have an off-season; I was just trying to perfect a few tweaks and keep my levels up so I can be ready for this pre-season period.

“It [pre-season] has been tough, I'm not going to lie – but good tough. My body's getting used to it, even though I'm sleeping half the time I'm not here! But it's good.

“I just want to be better than I was when I came in, on and off the pitch – mentally, physically, technically.

"Here, they're good lads, with good quality on and off the pitch. They're very focused and that's all I can ask for: good, welcoming people. It's been the same with my coaches."
