West Ham goalkeeper Adrian says he has nothing left to prove at London Stadium and will sit down with new manager Manuel Pellegrini to discuss his future at the club.

The Spaniard, who has been left out of his country’s World Cup squad following an inconsistent season, has a year remaining on his deal and will be the only remaining senior ‘keeper with the Hammers unlikely to make Joe Hart’s loan deal permanent.

The two exchanged the No1 spot under David Moyes, with Adrian ending the season as first choice and in good form.

With Pellegrini expected to have an unprecedented budget this summer, there remains a lot to be decided with regards to his squad, but Adrian remains relaxed over his position.

“I have one more year left on my contract. First, I have to listen to the opinion of my team and if they trust me,” the 31-year-old told Marca.

“There have been quite a few movements since we have been on holiday and they are refreshing the squad that perhaps is what they wanted.

“Now I must see Pellegrini’s opinion of me,” he continued.

“I’ve been there for five seasons and I do not have to prove anything to anyone. At the moment they have not told me anything.“
