Joe Hart is set to complete a loan move to West Ham over the weekend which will lead to a permanent deal worth around £10m.

The England international has been searching for a club all summer after being informed he is not part of Pep Guardiola’s plans at Manchester City.

Hart was sent on loan to Torino last season after Guardiola signed Claudio Bravo as his new No.1.

Despite the Chilean enduring a troubled time in the Premier League, it has not paved the way for Hart’s return.

Guardiola instead made Ederson Moraes the most expensive goalkeeper in British football, signing the Brazilian in a £35m deal.

City’s asking price of £25m had proved prohibitive to finding a buyer for Hart, who had his own problems in Serie A last season.

But a compromise has been reached with West Ham, which will see him move on loan initially before a permanent deal at a reduced fee.

Hart’s move is part of a flurry of transfer activity at the Etihad ahead of their summer tour to America.

Kyle Walker has completed a £45m move from Tottenham after months of negotiating for the England right-back.

City also hope to conclude a deal for Benjamin Mendy imminently.

The Monaco left-back is expected to cost in the region of £50m too.

Guardiola still wants to add at least one more full-back, possibly two, with Ryan Bertrand another target from Southampton.

A new centre-back remains a possibility, while City are still trying to reach a breakthrough over the proposed signing of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal.

After beginning their transfer activity in spectacular fashion with quick deals for Bernardo Silva and Ederson, City have faced difficulties getting other targets over the line.

They expected Dani Alves to complete a free transfer after ending his contract at Juventus. But the Brazilian instead opted to move to Paris St Germain, who came in with a late bid.

Interest in Virgil van Dijk ended when City refused to meet Southampton’s £60m-plus valuation.

Talks for Walker had proved problematic, with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy refusing to lower his £50m asking price. City reached a compromise of £45m plus add-ons to secure the defender on a five-year contract worth around £150,000-a-week.
