West Ham goalkeeper Adrian has responded to comments made by the club's co-owner David Sullivan that Joe Hart "is the best goalkeeper I've worked with."
Hart joined West Ham in a season-long loan deal on Tuesday and is set to become the club's No. 1 goalkeeper ahead of Adrian and Darren Randolph.
"Joe was absolutely fantastic for us at Birmingham City eight years ago," he said. "He is the best goalkeeper I've worked with and I fully expect him to be equally as good for us this coming season.
"I have been working on this transfer for some months and to see Joe wearing a West Ham United shirt is very satisfying. I expect him to be a great player for our club and can't wait to see him in a Hammers shirt at London Stadium for the first time.
"Joe has gone from strength to strength since his season at Birmingham, when he was voted Player of the Year, and it would not surprise me at all if he is in the running for the Hammer of the Year award come next May."

Having read the article, Adrian responded with a tweet that appeared to show he was upset at Sullivan's praise of Hart.
It read: "Thanks for your sincerity! But you still having 'two great professionals' respecting,fighting & defending this badge."
Meanwhile, Sullivan also confirmed West Ham are now focused on signing two attacking players amid reports they have had an offer accepted for Stoke's Marko Arnautovic.
"We are concentrating solely now on signing two attackers, then we will be satisfied," he said.
"We said at the start of the summer that we wanted to prioritise quality over quantity and that is what we have done, and what we will continue to do.
"The board and the management know we need a couple of players who will help us to score more goals next season, so that is what we will be concentrating on over the coming days and weeks."
