Liverpool have announced the signing of Adrian from West Ham on a two-year deal, with the goalkeeper arriving on a free transfer.
Simon Mignolet’s exit from Anfield was swiftly announced on Sunday night, bringing an end to six years at the club.
The Reds have taken no time in sorting a replacement, though, with Adrian coming in as Alisson’s new deputy.
If the 32-year-old wanted to be an instantly popular figure among Liverpool supporters, delving into his past shows there is perfect reasoning to adore him.

Back in 2015, Adrian proved to be West Ham’s hero when they took on Everton in an FA Cup third round replay.
A dramatic night saw the game go to a penalty shootout, and after saving one spot-kick, Adrian stepped up with the scoreline at 8-8.
The Spaniard nervelessly converted his effort to send the Hammers crowd wild, once again ruining Everton’s hopes of ending their long, long trophy drought (24 years, in case you’d forgotten).
Who’s putting money on Adrian scoring from his own half against the Blues this season?
