West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian is delighted with his first season in England.
The 27-year-old - a free-transfer signing from Real Betis last summer - did not win a regular starting jersey until Christmas but has remained between the posts since, even emerging as a contender for Player of the Season.
And he told the Daily Mail: "Of course I am very pleased with my season (on a personal note).
"I came here after I had a very good season with Betis in Spain but have improved and helped the team and that is what I am here for.
"I knew it was going to be difficult and I wasn't going to walk straight into the team, there is a lot of competition and great players in the squad.
"I managed to get a place in the starting XI and now I have got the confidence from all the supporters, the management, staff and my team-mates which, for a goalkeeper, is massive."
