West Ham have announced details of four pre-season friendlies they will be playing in July.

The Hammers will travel to Ireland to take on Cork City on Sunday, July 7 before returning nearer to home to face Blue Square Bet South side Boreham Wood on Wednesday, July 10.

Three days later Sam Allardyce’s men will be in action at promoted League One side Bournemouth in a testimonial for academy graduate and long-serving Cherries defender Stephen Purches and then comes arguably the highlight of the four games confirmed so far, a visit to Germany to take on Bundesliga outfit Hamburg on Tuesday, July 23.
