West Ham United stopper Adrian’s contract expires at the end of the season.
Adrian has suggested to Estadio Deportivo that West Ham United need to start challenging higher up the Premier League table, if he is to stay.
West Ham reportedly intend to activate a clause in Adrian’s contract, which will allow them to keep him for a further year.
The Spanish goalkeeper’s current deal at the London Stadium is due to expire at the end of the season, but West Ham do not want to him to leave.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper claims that he is happy in England.
However, Adrian has suggested that West Ham must set their sets higher than just avoiding relegation if they want to keep him for the long-term.
“I want to know the intentions of the club about me and see their project,” he said. “We must fight for higher targets and not just for staying in the Premier League. This is my fourth season here and I want to fight for something else.”
Adrian actually lost his place in West Ham’s first-team for a portion of the season, but has come back into Slaven Bilic’s plans more recently.
West Ham’s season has been a rather disappointing one, as they have failed to build on the progress they made last term.
The Hammers finished in seventh place in the Premier League table last year, but look destined to occupy a bottom half spot this time around.
