context_page_description: Adrián San Miguel del Castillo, known simply as Adrián, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Liverpool.
  Adrián began his career playing with Spanish side Real Betis, initially with the club's youth sides, before making his debut with the first team in 2012; he also had spells on loan with Alcalá and Utrera during this period. In 2013, he moved to England, joining West Ham United. After his release from West Ham, he signed with Liverpool in 2019, winning a Premier League title in his first season.
context_section_description: Having been watched playing for Betis by West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce and goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson, Adrián was persuaded to join the club. On 5 June 2013, it was announced he would sign a three-year contract on 1 July, with the Premier League club having the option to extend this deal for a further two seasons.
  Adrián made his Hammers debut on 27 August 2013 in a 2–1 home win against Cheltenham Town for the season's League Cup. During the match, he fouled Jermaine McGlashan to concede a penalty, which Matt Richards converted. His first league appearance came on 21 December, a 1–3 loss at Manchester United.
  On 11 January 2014, Adrián kept his first Premier League clean sheet, in the 2–0 away win over Cardiff City. On 6 May, he attended the club's awards and won "Save of the Season" for a fingertip save from Oscar against Chelsea in January. He also won "Best Individual Performance" for the same match, in which he kept a clean sheet in a goalless draw, as well as "Signing of the Season". He was also named runner-up "Hammer of the Year" to Mark Noble. By the end of the 2013–14 season, he had become West Ham's first-choice goalkeeper, replacing previous incumbent Jussi Jääskeläinen.
  In an FA Cup third-round replay penalty shoot-out against Everton on 13 January 2015, Adrián saved from Steven Naismith. The shootout went to sudden death, in which he scored the winner after his Everton counterpart, compatriot Joel Robles, struck the crossbar. Despite having never taken a competitive penalty before, he was so confident he would score and win the match that he removed his goalkeeping gloves before taking it – his team won it 9–8.
  On 11 February 2015, Adrián was given a straight red card in a goalless draw at Southampton for handling the ball outside the penalty area while pressured by Sadio Mané. His suspension for this dismissal was rescinded by the FA, although West Ham were charged with failing to control their players following the incident, being fined £30,000. He played all 38 league matches and all four FA Cup matches during the campaign.
  Adrián received a straight red card in added time at the end of West Ham's 1–2 home loss to Leicester City on 15 August 2015 for a high challenge on Jamie Vardy, after going up for a corner kick. As the team had already made all of their substitutions, Carl Jenkinson became the goalkeeper for the remainder of the match. In October 2015, he signed a new two-year contract with the option of a further two years, keeping him at the club until 2017.
  Adrián was released by West Ham at the end of the 2018–19 season. His last game came on 26 January 2019 in a 4-2 away defeat to AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup. He had played 150 in all competitions for West Ham but only five in his final season, all cup games, as his place in their Premier League team was taken by Łukasz Fabiański. Adrián chose to leave the club despite a three-year contract offer because "he hadn't played a single game all season in the Premier League" and "didn't feel valued economically either".
