West Ham United goalkeeper Adrian admits Pepe Reina convinced him about moving to the Londoners.

The former Liverpool keeper is now with Bayern Munich.

Adrian recalled to the Daily Mail: "I know Pepe very well and I spoke with him before I signed for West Ham.

"He told me: 'Do it, don't hesitate. The Premier League is a great opportunity and you'll enjoy it hugely just as I enjoyed those years at Liverpool'."

Adrian continued: "It wins you over more with every game. There is never a match when it seems one of the two teams believe they can't win. There are times in Spain when you have a team playing one of the big sides and because they have so much respect for them the attitude is "let's defend and not lose by too many". Here everyone goes for it. Everyone is brave."
