Adrian has revealed he is hoping to leave West Ham in January after falling out of favour under manager Slaven Bilic.

The Spanish goalkeeper is yet to feature in the Premier League this season, with Bilic opting to start summer signing Joe Hart.

Adrian, whose only appearances have come in the Carabao Cup wins against Cheltenham and Bolton, believes he must leave the Hammers in order to boost his chance of inclusion in Spain's World Cup squad.

"The coach is not giving me much ball this year, but the data is there. It only remains to fight," the 30-year-old, who signed a new two-year deal in the summer, told Radio Marca.

"The possibility also to play for the national team when you are not playing also disappears.

"The market will be reopened and an agreement must be reached because I am not happy in this situation.

"Try other leagues? I would not mind. I want to enjoy every Sunday and that is achieved by playing."
