West Ham United will look to agree a loan deal with Manchester City for goalkeeper Joe Hart if a permanent deal can not be agreed, according to Sky Sports.
Manchester City want to sell Hart permanently but West Ham can’t match the shot-stopper’s wage demands so City will allow a loan move instead.
Hart spent last season on loan with Serie A club Torino in an attempt to get valuable game time ahead of the World Cup in 2018 as it was clear that he was not in Pep Guardiol’s plans.
West Ham have been monitoring the situation for the past year and are now ready to make a loan move for the England goalkeeper. Hart played for England in their World Cup qualifier against Scotland and came under heavy criticism from pundits after conceding two free-kicks in the latter few minutes of the game.
City and Hart are expecting more teams to show interest and make offers to secure his services, but it is thought that West Ham are the closest to agreeing a deal because the keeper wants to stay in the Premier League.
