Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian has paid tribute to West Ham fans.

Adrian left the Irons for the Reds earlier this month.

"Today is the sixth anniversary of my arrival in London to proudly defend the Hammers shirt, a fortunate and happy time that has helped me grow as a person and also a footballer," he wrote in a heartfelt message to West Ham's fans on social media.

"Today, six years later, I can tell you that I have always hoped to continue with West Ham but the circumstances of football have led me to seek a new direction. That is my objective right now but I must not forget a time that has been so successful for my family and me.

"It's said that footballers and clubs pass and that is how it is. But when one has found oneself at home, one must recognise it and show gratitude."
