In a bid to retain their form, West Ham United have utilised the small break in the Premier League to schedule a mid-season training camp in Dubai. The club has had only one win in 2015 and it came in the 3-0 success over Hull City back in January.
The constant run of draws and defeats has led to West Ham slipping into the bottom half of the table. Even though there is no immediate danger of relegation, West Ham would ideally want to recover form and possibly challenge for the European squads. This is also the ambition of winger Stewart Downing.
