West Ham United are set to visit Austria in preparation for the forthcoming 2009/10 Premier League season.

The Hammers will stay in Bad Radkersburg between July 13th-24th - just as they did two years ago when Alan Curbishley was manager.

Although details of possible fixtures are yet to be announced the Hammers will be in Austria at the same time as Bolton, Arsenal, Stoke City, Werder Bremen, FK Jablonec and Hertha BSC - all of whom are staying in various other locations throughout the country.

Gianfranco Zola will be hoping for better luck than his predecessor who saw his side defeated by Czech outfit Sigma (1-0) and Italian Serie A side Lazio (2-0) during the 2007 tour.

Current pre-season dates

Grays Athletic (a): July 12th

Austrian Tour: July 13th-24th

Kingstonian (a): July 31st

Asia Cup (Beijing): First week of August
