Adrian could stay in the Premier League

Free agent Adrian could yet stay in the UK  by joining a rival Premier League club in the transfer window as a backup keeper new reports claim. Goal.com says a new backup goalkeeper may also be required at Liverpool as Simon Mignolet is expected to ask to leave in the close-season.

The report says Adrian is one name that has been mentioned in Liverpool circles though there has been no approach for the out-of-contract Spaniard, who is interesting Crystal Palace and Bournemouth among others.

The 32-year-old Hammer has already said his goodbyes to the supporters as he waved goodbye in his lap of honour following the 3-0 victory over Southampton and again at Watford on the final day of the season. Adrian joined West Ham in 2013 on a free transfer and made 150 appearances for the Hammers.

He has also been heavily linked to a return to Spain and in particular his former club Real Betis.
