Adrian is yet to make a start for West Ham United in the Premier League this season.

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has told Football.London that he can understand Adrian’s comments, where he has suggested that he could move on from the London Stadium.

Adrian has been dropped from West Ham’s first-team this season in favour of Joe Hart.

The Spanish stopper has still not played for the Hammers in the Premier League this season, and the 30-year-old could look to move on in January.

But Bilic has offered Adrian hope that he could still break into West Ham’s team ahead of Hart, if he continues to impress.

“I can understand it. They want to play, be a regular, they are top sportsmen but we also need a good squad and two good keepers,” Bilic said.

“On the other hand, Adrian is a great professional and is acting in the way I wanted. He is very good in training, working hard. At the moment he is getting the cup only and that can change.”

Hart has had a rather indifferent start to life at West Ham, after signing from Manchester City.

Bilic has stood by the goalkeeper, but he hasn’t quite found his top form just yet.

West Ham have made a poor start to the campaign, and they currently sit in 15th place in the Premier League table.

If West Ham can beat Brighton tomorrow, they could move into the top half of the table.
