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!"
