"I'm really looking forward to going back because West Ham will always be a special place for me," said the Israeli captain and former Hammer.
"I had a really good time there and I made lots of friends and the fans were always good to me so it will be good to go back there.
"I don't know what kind of reception I will get from the fans but, obviously, I am hoping that it will be a good one.
"But even if it isn't it won't change the way I feel about West Ham. I will always love them and the fans are among the best you could find anywhere in the world."
