Joe Hart is prepared to be second choice somewhere after leaving Manchester City – should Spurs consider him as alternative to Southampton’s Alex McCarthy?
Hart wants to revive his career after a disappointing season on loan at West Ham United that saw the goalkeeper lose his place in the England squad for the 2018 World Cup.
Where next?
Sporting Lisbon have shown early interest in the 31-year-old and while the stopper is not averse to moving abroad having spent the 2016/17 campaign with Torino, the Primeira Liga club are not offering him the desired wages.
Hart’s contract at City, which expires in 2019, currently sees the Englishman earn £120,000-a-week and Sporting are not prepared to come close to that in the two-year deal they have put on the table.
Several Premier League sides are understood to have held talks with the ‘keeper, who is prepared to be second choice in a bid to resurrect his waning reputation in the game.
This is why Tottenham Hotspur should maybe take a look at Hart, as the Mirror reports they are looking for a backup for captain Hugo Lloris.
Michel Vorm is expected to leave Spurs this summer and Alex McCarthy has been identified as a possible replacement, although TEAMtalk claims it would cost a whopping £30million to land the Southampton star.
In stark contrast, with Hart having no future at the Etihad Stadium, the Telegraph claims that the Citizens are prepared to accept less than £5million for him.
