Adrian wants to remain at West Ham beyond the end of his current deal.
West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian has told the club’s official website that he wants to remain at the London Stadium beyond the end of his current contract – which expires at the end of the 2018-19 season.
The 31-year-old has admitted being frustrated at times throughout the season, making only 19 Premier League appearances when he clearly felt as though he should have been afforded more game time.
Spanish newspaper AS claim Real Betis want to sign their former goalkeeper this summer, with only a year left to run on a contract the Daily Star claim is worth £35,000 a week.
But Adrian told the club’s official website that his focus remains on staying with West Ham, so much so that he hinted at extending his current deal beyond the end of next season.
“This past season for me has been a bit disappointing and frustrating at times, but I have one more year on my contract and we will see more when the season has finished,” Adrian said.
“I hope that I can continue to show I am here to help West Ham, as I enjoy it here at London Stadium and I want to keep enjoying it. The West Ham fans welcomed me with open arms from day one and I feel their love every time that I play.”
Adrian had to watch from the sidelines for much of the season as loanee Joe Hart was given just as much of a chance as the Spaniard, though the Manchester City goalkeeper made arguably more mistakes.
With Hart set to return to the Etihad this summer, Adrian is West Ham’s current number one and it will be interesting to see if the Hammers’ next manager will look to buy a goalkeeper in the summer window.
