West Ham United will face Everton in the next round of the Premier League summer series. The 32-year-old Phil Krug said that he had good training with the team during this period, and he believed that he was very close to his best form and was full of confidence in the new season.

Felkerug joined West Ham from Dortmund in August last year, but due to injury problems he only played 18 games in the 2024/25 Premier League season. However, he still scored 3 goals and contributed 2 assists.

West Ham striker Phil Krug said, "I feel like I'm in really good shape right now. I trained almost every day during the holidays because I wanted to get back to my best form. Since then, we've had some very intense training sessions, including a training camp in Germany before coming to the United States. This has been very helpful and has gotten me closer and closer to my ideal form. I feel good now and am full of confidence for the new season."

In the first round of the Premier League summer series, West Ham United lost to Manchester United 1-2 after Bowen scored a goal despite leading.

"I think there were a lot of positives to take away from the game against Manchester United," said Phil Krug. "It felt like a real Premier League game because we were playing against a top Premier League team in a big stadium and there were a lot of fans there."

“It was a tough game, but we gradually got into the game and had some good moments. We have a good squad and a lot of young players who are fighting for their chances, so I think we are moving in the right direction.”

In addition, when talking about the feeling of participating in the game in the United States, Felkerug said, "I still remember the last time I played here for the German national team against Mexico. That game was also played in a great stadium. The atmosphere was also very good, and the American fans were always very enthusiastic."

“It’s great to have this kind of support and to play for fans who don’t often get the chance to see us in person. It was great to see so many fans wearing the claret and blue jerseys on this occasion.”
