# West Ham goalkeeper Adrian targeted by Newcastle

West Ham goalkeeper Adrian is subject to interest from fellow Premier League club Newcastle United who have opened talks with the Hammers over the Spaniard.

The [Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/rafa-benitez-cranked-up-search-13391350) report that should Adrian leave for Newcastle then Karl Darlow will move in the other direction and join Slaven Bilic at West Ham.

The Spanish goalkeeper knows that he risks wasting a full season on the bench after the Hammers secured England goalkeeper Joe Hart on a season long loan so is looking for a move away from the London Stadium in search for regular game time.

The Magpies are looking for a shot-stopper with the futures of Tim Krul and Darlow not certain and manager Rafa Benitez wants a Premier League proven number one.

West Ham have already offloaded Darren Randolph to Middlesbrough following the arrival of Hart, but need a quality second goalkeeper to push Hart and Darlow may be that man.

The 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper started 16 times in the Premier League last season for the Hammers and has become a fan favourite during his time with the club.

The Magpies were reported to be interested in Adrian earlier in the window and have now re-kindled that interest as they look to settle into life in the English top flight.
