Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian admits he's been taken aback by the passion of fans on Merseyside.

Adrian made 125 Premier League appearances for West Ham across a six-year career in London, but less than a month on from his Liverpool debut, the Spaniard admits football is viewed as a "bigger deal" on Merseyside than in the capital.

"It's very different to London, football is bigger deal here," he told SCMP.

"There are similarities with my home city of Seville, with two big teams. Our ambition is to win the Premier League this season."
