West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian could move to Liverpool on a free transfer this summer, per Goal.

What’s the word?

Football FanCast understands that Adrian is poised to depart the Hammers when his contract expires at the end of June.

He failed to make a single Premier League appearance in 2018-19, with Lukasz Fabianski, the club’s Hammer of the Year, instead emerging as Manuel Pellegrini’s No.1.

Adrian did play five times in cup competitions, captaining the side in the EFL Cup and featuring twice in the FA Cup.

And Goal now claim that he could make a shock move to Jurgen Klopp’s Champions League finalists, with the Reds in the market for a back-up goalkeeper.

Simon Mignolet is reportedly set to leave, leaving the club short in the position ahead of the 2019-20 season.

Damned if they do

West Ham have been left in an unenviable position here.

The Irons have found their first-choice goalkeeper in Fabianski; Adrian perhaps deserves better but it’s simply the nature of the beast.

The Spaniard has made exactly 150 appearances for the club but he now appears set to bring the curtain down with very little ceremony.

A move to Liverpool could see him yet again relegated to the bench, or he could step in when needed and help the Reds to silverware, leaving egg on the Irons’ faces.

Ultimately, though, they are damned if they keep a long-serving star who won’t ever play in the top-flight and damned if they let him leave without the send-off he deserves.
