​Torino midfielder Joel Obi believes that his manager made a shrewd decision in signing Joe Hart on loan from Manchester City.





Hart fell out of favour with new City boss Pep Guardiola, and was forced out of the club after the Spanish manager brought in Claudio Bravo.

Since moving to the Turin side, Hart has shown impressive form in between the sticks, and has helped the team to three wins and two draws in six Serie A matches, also keeping two clean sheets.





Meanwhile, Bravo has been placed under lots of pressure and continues to make very questionable decisions, inclusive of the one that got him sent off against Barcelona in the Champions League during the week.





Obi, a 25-year-old attacker, who also plays for Nigeria, has hailed Hart's impact, describing the Englishman as a 'Rolls-Royce'.

"To have a goalkeeper like him changed the mood in the dressing room," Obi said to The Sun.





"We felt like we'd bought a Rolls-Royce and the confidence level went through the roof.





"He's hard-working and just got straight down to business from day one. You would think he has been a part of the club for a couple of years.





"Some felt he was poorly treated at City but he didn't want sympathy from anyone. He just wanted to play football."





Obi is also said to be Hart's personal interpreter at Torino. He added that the stopper holds no grudges against the English club, and only has good things to say regarding his time at the Etihad.

“Joe has quickly picked up basic Italian but he only talks about positives at Manchester City — nothing negative.





“He reflects on the great moments — winning titles, big games and derbies — and tells us funny stuff about his team-mates, leaving us in stitches.





“Some of our players try to wind him up by playing as City on PlayStation just to remind him it’s easier to score against him in a video game than in reality.”
