As reported by The Daily Mail, Newcastle United are interested in signing West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian this summer.
What's the story?
The Magpies have already signed four players this summer but Rafa Benitez still has a bit of work to do on his squad if they're to be capable of a comfortable finish in the English Premier League next term.
One position it looks like he'll be strengthening is between the sticks, with a potential move for a top-flight goalkeeper in the offing.
That's according to The Daily Mail, who say that Newcastle are interested in signing West Ham United man Adrian.
Despite Darren Randolph moving to Middlesbrough, The Mail reckon that the Hammers are willing to let the Spaniard leave too after completing a season-long loan deal for Joe Hart.
Rated at £6.8m by Transfermarkt, the goalkeeper will find his chances limited at the London Stadium now Hart has arrived.
The right choice?
Shopping for goalkeepers can be notoriously difficult but in Adrian, Newcastle would at least be signing a number one with a proven track record in the English Premier League.
He's made 106 top-flight appearances since joining from Real Betis in 2013, keeping 29 clean sheets, which isn't a half bad record for a team that isn't exactly pushing for top four places.
He started the majority of Premier League games last term, 22 in total, and although West Ham have seemingly moved onto other options, he could be a quality pick for Newcastle United in their quest to bolster depth in the position and bring out the competitive streak in their existing goalkeepers.
