West Ham United are reportedly keen on keeping Joe Hart.
West Ham United boss David Moyes has told Football.London that he felt Joe Hart made ‘excellent’ saves against Arsenal.
The Hammers were looking to pick up more points on the road after their recent 1-1 draw at Chelsea, but ended up being thrashed by the Gunners.
Nacho Monreal volleyed home the opener before Manuel Lanzini teed up Marko Arnautovic to smash home an equaliser for the visitors.
However, Arsenal found another gear late on, as Aaron Ramsey’s cross went all the way in and Alexandre Lacazette bagged a brace in the dying stages of the game.
The result means West Ham aren’t guaranteed of survival just yet, and manager Moyes will be looking for a shock result against Manchester City next week.
One player who won’t feature in that game is loanee Joe Hart, given that he is ineligible to face his parent club, bringing an end to his recent run of games.
Despite a season of struggle, The Mirror report that West Ham actually want to keep Hart for next season and will approach Manchester City about another loan move in a shock potential deal.
Now, West Ham boss Moyes has praised Hart despite the 4-1 defeat on Sunday, suggesting he made two ‘excellent’ saves, praising him after a ‘difficult week’ following his mistake against Stoke City.
“Joe made two excellent saves I have to say, the ones in the second half so well done to him after what has been a difficult week for him,” said Moyes.
