Struggling Premier League Side Want To Sign Joe Hart Permanently

Joe Hart could well be making an early return to the Premier League, if recent reports are anything to go by.

Pep Guardiola quickly cast aside Hart in the summer but was only able to get rid of him temporarily, with Hart joining Torino on loan.

However, The Sun reports that West Ham want to sign the two-time Premier League title winner if they manage to avoid the drop this season.

Both Adrian and Darren Randolph have struggled for consistency and Slaven Bilic is looking for a reliable, top-class goalkeeper.

Chelsea's Asmir Begovic has been linked in a loan move to the struggling Hammers but Hart could come in permanently in the summer.

The 29-year old would likely cost around £10 million, with City expected to allow such a move because they do not see West Ham as a genuine threat.

West Ham climbed out of the drop zone on Sunday after a 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield.
