West Ham United left-back Arthur Masuaku has revealed to the club’s official website how hard he and his teammates have been working in pre-season.

The West Ham players recently returned from training in Switzerland, as the London club prepare for the upcoming 2018-19 Premier League campaign.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side took on Wycombe Wanderers in a pre-season friendly match at the weekend.

Masuaku has revealed just how hard he and his West Ham teammates worked in training in Switzerland.

The 24-year-old left-back – who earns £40,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – has also looked forward to West Ham’s upcoming friendly international.

Masuaku told West Ham’s official website: “We had a great training camp in Switzerland. We worked very hard, sometimes we had three training sessions a day.

“Now we’re back home, we played a League One side on Saturday and we’ve got three Championship teams next, so it’s a good way to build up for the new season.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to keep building our game and to get fit as quickly as possible, ready for the game against Liverpool.”
