Vladimir Coufal feels ready for the new season.

The 29-year-old is heading into his third season as a West Ham United player and is fully focused on building on the success of the previous two years.

“I enjoyed the international break in June and the short holiday I had afterwards. I've been back a couple of weeks and I feel myself in good condition and excited to start the new season.

“We need to go through to the Conference League group stages and then we'll be playing every three or four days.

“The schedule will be busy and that is why this time of year is so important. We keep in condition, every player. We have a really good squad and we believe in our power,

“It's going to be a fun season."
