After putting the phone back on the hook - it is fair to say that Joe had a slight smile on his face. But that is most likely the understatement of the year.

Sources close to both the player and the club have let WestHammersFC know that Joe is going. The call came on Monday night when Joe was at home, and he was asked whether he fancied a trip to Japan and Korea.

With the full squad being announced at 10am on Thursday, it remains to be seen which other Hammers players are included, but it is expected that Joe will be joined by David James at the very least, whilst Trevor Sinclair is still in with an outside chance.

You will be able to find out the squad here at WestHammersFC as soon as it is announced tomorrow morning.
