Ben Johnson insists West Ham United are focused on continuing their progress next season.
The Hammers have secured back-to-back top seven finishes, and lost in the Europa League semi-final against Sevilla last season.
And Johnson has said West Ham want to continue their upward trajectory for the 2022/23 campaign.
"It's been great to be back," he smiled. "I missed all the lads – I'm usually in on the first day of pre-season so it was different for me this year having to wait to come back.
"It's obviously a great feeling to be back around the lads and get back to Club football, which is the best feeling. I can't wait to get started again.
"Every day counts and we're all looking forward to playing. I think the team have surprised people the past couple of years and we're looking forward to doing that again. We're looking forward to challenging ourselves against the best teams.
"We've got top players in our group – it's not long until the season starts and we're looking forward to getting the campaign underway. All the boys are happy and raring to go."
