West Ham boss Slaven Bilic keen for Adrian to sign a new deal despite England keeper Joe Hart’s arrival on loan as No 1
Hammers boss insists everyone at the club wants the Crystal Palace and Newcastle target to sign a contract extension
ADRIAN has been offered a new West Ham contract despite Joe Hart's arrival on loan as No 1.
The Spanish stopper interests Newcastle and Crystal Palace but boss Bilic wants to stop any move in its tracks.
He has made over 100 first team appearances since signing for Hammers in 2013 and now Bilic wants to demonstrate how highly he is rated.
NOT PICKED YOUR FANTASY FOOTBALL TEAM YET? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Adrian signed a contract extension in May but Bilic said: "We want to give him a longer contract to show him how much we want him and respect him.
"The chairman wants him to stay, I want him to stay and so do the players.
He's very important on the pitch and is great in the dressing room. You want competition. We will look after him."
England's top-choice keeper Hart has been borrowed from City for the season, leading to Hammers stopper Darren Randolph joining Middlesbrough.
Meanwhile, West Ham have been priced out of a move for Sporting Lisbon's midfielder William Carvalho, who is priced at £40million.
