West Ham United's players have had another busy 24 hours of team building, fitness building and relationship building at their pre-season training camp in the French town of Évian-les-Bains.
The Hammers were back at the Stade Camille-Fournier on Wednesday evening for a football session that tested the players' physical and technical skills and culminated in a competitive first-time finishing drill won by a delighted Saïd Benrahma.
After a stretch and a shower, the players convened for a team barbecue at the nearby Evian Resort Golf Club, which will play host to the LPGA Evian Championship later this month.
Thursday morning saw the players return to the Stade Camille-Fournier, where they were joined by youngsters from local junior club Thonon Evian Grand Geneve and the International Centre of European Football (ICEF), along with their coaches.
After watching training, the children met the Hammers' players, who happily signed autographs and posed for photographs.
With that, the players made the short walk back to their hotel for lunch and a rest ahead of Thursday evening's training session.
The Irons' Alpine training camp will culminate with the opening pre-season fixture over the border against Swiss Super League side Servette at the 30,000-capacity Stade de Genève on Friday evening at 6pm. Tickets for that match are available to buy here, or you can watch a live steam on our YouTube and TikTok channels.
