West Ham United trio Alex Song, Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate have spread some Christmas cheer around the club's training ground by donning Santa Claus beards.

The players, who signed for the Hammers in the summer, got into the Christmas spirit this week after all three missed the Premier League side's 2-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park last Saturday.

Sakho tweeted a picture of himself with his teammates, all of whom donned Santa beards and hats, alongside the message: "It's Christmas Time at the training ground! @whufc_official @PapiCheikhou #AlexSong #ohohohoh."

West Ham are currently sixth in the league table after 12 games.
