Jussi Jaaskelainen looks all set to leave West Ham United in the coming weeks, as talks over a new deal have somewhat stalled.
The veteran keeper, aged 39, a favourited member by Sam Allardyce over the years, but lost his place in the first team line up in the December of 2013.
Jaaskelainen kept eight clean sheets before being dropped and replaced by Spanish keeper Adrian, who is 12 years his junior, after the former Bolton Wanderers stalwart struggled for form beforehand.
Adrian would go onto keep Jaaskelainen out the team for the rest of the season, impressing on a regular basis at Upton Park, having signed for Spanish side Real Betis last summer.
Jaaskelainen’s current contract expires at the end of this season ( June ) and it is expected that Allardyce will release his former number-one stopper. That leaves Adrian as the likely ‘keeper for next season
