West Ham are hoping to land the signature of England and Manchester City keeper Joe Hart in the next 24 hours on a season-long loan.

Slaven Bilic has been waiting patiently to strengthen his squad and looks set to land a major summer target as Hart attempts to get his career back on track in the Premier League.

The 30-year-old keeper was shipped out on loan to Torino last season, but stated a return to the Premier League was 'more than likely' and now looks set to put pen to paper with the Hammers.

Hart struggled to make any impact under Pep Guardiola and has a major point to prove on his return to the top flight.

Newcastle have also been linked with a move for the talented keeper, but West Ham have won the race to persuade him to join the east London club.

Hart is expected to sign for an initial 12 month loan with the Hammers having the option to make the signing a permanent one next summer.

Adrian and Darren Randolph both held the number one spot at London Stadium last season and Hart's arrival will provide fierce competition for the goalkeeping jersey.

Hart will get an early chance to come up against his former club when the Hammers play Manchester City in a pre-season friendly in Iceland on Friday August 4.
