Adrian looking to build West Ham United legacy

West Ham United keeper Adrian is looking to emulate the success of past greats at the club after securing a move to the Hammers earlier this week.

The 26-year-old joined Sam Allardyce's side on a free transfer from Real Betis and will compete next season with Jussi Jaaskelainen for the starting keeper's spot.

He told the club's official website: "I knew about West Ham being one of England's legendary clubs. It's a very historical team and I am aware of the home-grown players like Frank Lampard, Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole.

"What took me back was when I made my first visit to the club and seeing the historical background of club in players like Bobby Moore and Sir Trevor Brooking. They are part of the club's history.

"With the help of everybody, I will give it my best shot to become one of those players who West Ham fans remember for years to come."

Adrian made 32 appearances for Betis in all competitions last season.
