Now for a more modern inclusion, the Spaniard Adrian was pretty unknown when he signed for West Ham from Real Betis in 2013. At the end of the 2014/15 season however, a study carried out by ‘Scottish Friendly’ estimated that, based on statistics, Adrian was the division’s best value goalkeeper.
That season, the Spaniard would maintain an average claim success rate of 98%, as well as keeping nine clean sheets across the season as a whole, a figure he would replicate the following campaign and this term he has three clean sheets in the bag so far.
He’s by no means a world-class property but nonetheless is severely under-appreciated in a side which has kept him as their number one choice for four years now, despite threat from Darron Randolph to supersede him.
The 30-year-old shot-stopper is well renowned for his razor-sharp reflexes and movement in the box during set-plays. West Ham have chopped-and-changed personnel frequently over the years, with the defence especially being shuffled around.
During this though, Adrian has always been a consistent performer and helped navigate the club towards a seventh place finish last term.
