New name in Hammers goalkeeping frame
We reported last night the Spaniard is unsettled by the current situation with the club looking for and launching bids for a new keeper.
And today word is that with a year left on his current deal the Spaniard is unready to talk any sort of new deal until he gets some certainty over his position.
The Hammers are known to hold an interest in Swansea’s Lukasz Fabianski and have also been considering a move for Burnley’s Tom Heaton (right).
The 32 year old was out for much of last season with a shoulder injury but according to Clarets boss Sean Dyche is now close to full fitness and ready to challenge Nick Pope for the No 1 spot.
Heaton is contracted to the Turf Moor club until 2020 and we have been told that Burnley have put a £15 – £18 million price on his head to deter interest.
Obviously none of this is impressing Adrian and after his experiences over the last two years and with interest from Real Betis could push for a move, leaving the Hammers with an unhappy player if he is again forced to settle for the No 2 role.
We were told: “Not unnaturally Adrian – after his experiences over the past two seasons Adrian is not ready to enter into serious talks. He has a year left on his deal.”
Swansea are reported to be ready to play hardball over the Hammers move for their player of last season Fabianski as the Hammers enter their too regular stop/start transfer market activities.
