West Ham keeper Jaaskelainen looking forward to warm NZ trip

West Ham United goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen is ready for their preseason trip to New Zealand.

Jaaskelainen is not only looking forward to visiting and playing in a new country, but also the fact that temperatures in New Zealand will be much lower than those he has experienced on previous pre-season tours.

He told whufc.com: "It's going to be a great experience. I've never been to New Zealand before so I'm definitely looking forward to it. I was hoping it wouldn't get too hot for us, but then I discovered it would be winter down there, so that's brilliant. I'll have to bring my hat to go along with my gloves!"
