Reported West Ham United target Joe Hart is on loan at Torino from Manchester City at the moment.

West Ham United will make a £15 million bid for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

Hart is on a season-long loan deal at Torino at the moment, having joined the Italian club from Premier League giants City in the summer of 2016.

“Hart is understood to demand wages of around £100,000-a-week to join West Ham, which would make him their highest-paid player,” states the report in The Sun.

“And London Stadium chiefs want to offload Adrian, 30, for £5m in the summer, and give his £40,000-a-week money to the England goalkeeper.”

Hart is a good goalkeeper, and he would prove to be a good signing for West Ham. But would the England international be willing to join the London club?

The 29-year-old is used to challenging for Premier League titles and playing in the Champions League. Joining Torino in the summer was a step down for Hart, but it was a rushed decision and there was no space available for him at one of the bigger clubs in England.

West Ham are a big club in their own rights, but there could be a situation where Hart would have offers from other teams. While the Hammers would be wise to make a move for the Englishman in the summer, they should have other options as back-ups.
