Adrian has revealed his pride at being shortlisted for the London Football Awards Goalkeeper of the Year.
West Ham United’s Spanish stopper is among five glovemen nominated for the award, which will be presented at Battersea Evolution on Thursday 1 March, with Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois, Watford’s Heurelho Gomes, Tottenham Hotspur’s Hugo Lloris and Brentford’s Daniel Bentley also in the running.
The No13 enjoyed some standout moments in 2017, helping the Hammers to secure Premier League and EFL Cup wins over Spurs and keeping six clean sheets in eleven top-flight appearances, including shutouts against Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal.
“I am really pleased to be one of those nominated,” Adrian confirmed. “There are some good goalkeepers in London so I am delighted to be recognised as one of the best.
“It’s a sign that I am doing a great job for the team and now people around me have validated it by nominating me for this Award.”

When asked to name his standout moments of last year, there were no surprises in Adrian’s choices.
“Personally, I would say that our win at home against Spurs at the end of last season was magnificent and also our win against Chelsea in December at home too, as it was just my second appearance after a hard beginning of this season, when I didn’t play many minutes,” he confirmed.
A total of eight Awards will be presented on Thursday evening, including Premier League Player of the Year, EFL Player of the Year, Manager of the Year, Women’s Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year. Former West Ham striker Ian Wright will also be recognised on the night for his Outstanding Contribution to London Football.
