Liverpool are one of the three Premier League clubs chasing West Ham goalkeeper Adrian, according to a report by Goal.
Adrian is set to depart West Ham on a free transfer this summer. His contract is due to expire and he did not manage a single league outing due to Lukasz Fabianski’s form.
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace have reportedly taken an interest in Adrian. But they face competition from Liverpool, who are considering him as a cheap back-up option.
Alisson Becker joined last summer and has been Jurgen Klopp’s undisputed first choice. But doubt surrounds the futures of Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius. Adrian could provide short-term cover for Alisson at Anfield.
Adrian is not the only Hammer on Klopp’s radar. According to The Daily Mail, Liverpool also want Felipe Anderson. However, West Ham do not want to sell their club-record Brazilian winger.
Adrian: fan favourite at West Ham
Adrian looks set to end his six-year stay at West Ham. After joining on a free from Spanish side Real Betis, the popular goalkeeper will depart having played 150 games for the club.
The Spaniard was the regular first-choice option for the Irons for several seasons, although he has had to share the goalkeeper duties in the last three years.
In the 2016/17 season, Adrian and Darren Randolph split the playing time. Then, in 2017/18, he and Joe Hart rotated between the sticks. And this season, Fabianski played all 38 Premier League games and won Hammer of the Year.
Adrian was limited to just a few cup appearances this season. But the 32-year-old still leaves West Ham as a fan favourite. Whether he gets a Premier League opportunity or moves back to Spain remains to be seen, but his West Ham exit looks all but confirmed.
