There has been an ongoing debate about which of him and Darren Randolph could be on their way should Hart make his expected arrival.
And it seems that Adrian will not be content with spending a season – and probably longer – in the shadows after playing second fiddle to Randolph last season.
The Spaniard has huge self confidence and sees himself as a possible future goalkeeper for his country and needs to be playing regularly to put himself in the international frame.
Newcastle are believed to be keen where Rafa Benitez is searching for a stopper but he will have to pay around £8 million for Adrian who only signed a new West ham deal this summer.
