West Ham United will try to bring goalkeeper Joe Hart back to England at the end of the season – as long as the club preserve their Premier League status.

Hart is on loan at Torino and has already accepted that his Manchester City career is over with manager Pep Guardiola willing to listen to offers of £10 million from foreign clubs.

City could ask for double that fee from a Premier League rival, but West Ham will hope that the fact they are not a threat to the Manchester club in England or in Europe will help them land the England international for a knock-down price.

West Ham are considering a loan move for Chelsea goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in January because of the poor form of Adrian, who has lost his place to Darren Randolph. But it is Hart who has emerged at West Ham’s first choice permanent goalkeeper target for the end of the season, with either Adrian or Randolph expected to leave.

Although Hart is enjoying his season-long loan in Torino, the 29-year-old would favour a permanent move back to England to help him keep his place in the national side.
