# Newcastle pondering January move for Joe Hart

Fellow Premier League side Newcastle United are interested in signing Joe Hart, who has fallen out of favour at the London Stadium.

[According to the Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-eye-surprise-january-move-11803990), Rafa Benitez was interested in signing the England international last summer before he moved to [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) on a season-long loan.

Now that Hart has lost his place to Adrian for the [Hammers](https://readwestham.com/), the Magpies are making enquiries with [Manchester City](https://readmancity.com/) to take him off their hands.

It would take both [West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) and the Citizens to agree to end Hart’s current loan deal.

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/) may be keen to shift the 30-year old, who is a considerable drain on the London club’s wage budget. They may look to terminate his loan to free up space for January incomings.

City will also be looking to get Hart as much game time as possible, ahead of potentially selling him on in the summer, and Hart himself will be desperate for minutes ahead of next summer’s World Cup.
