# Newcastle ready to make move for Adrian

Newcastle United are reportedly considering a move for West Ham goalkeeper Adrian.

According to a report from the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/live-transfer-news-manchester-arsenal-10811985?service=responsive) today, the Magpies are ready to fight [C](https://readnewcastle.com/)rystal Palace for the Spaniard’s signature this summer, with him set to be available for a move.

West Ham today confirmed the signing of England international Joe Hart on a season-long loan from [Manchester City](https://readmancity.com/). This means that Adrian is to be second choice at best next season, competing for the backup spot with Darren Randolph.

However, an escape route could be formed for the experienced shot stopper this summer, with [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) clubs vying for his signature.

Adrian struggled last season and failed to convince in what was a difficult campaign for the [Hammers](https://readwestham.com/). However, he’d provide experience and [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) experience to potential suitors.

Newcastle look to be chasing a new shot-stopper as Rafa Benitez looks to add competition for Karl Darlow.
