Joe Hart looks set to be leaving Manchester City this summer, after losing his place as number one at the Etihad Stadium.

The England number one has been essentially made the third choice stopper at City, with Willy Caballero and new signing Claudio Bravo ahead of him in the pecking order.

But his options are dissipating fast.

Everton boss Ronald Koeman has confirmed his club are not interested. Sevilla were said to be keen, but they signed Italian international Salvatore Sirigu from Paris Saint-Germain earlier today.

It is believed that City are willing to subsidise any loan deal quite handsomely, so should Hull City make an ambitious move to sign the player?

Hull have defied expectations to start the season in excellent form under Mike Phelan. They are now looking to bring in some transfers and a new goalkeeper would not go amiss.

Allan McGregor is out for six months with a serious injury. Eldin Jakupovic has deputised well in his absence but Hart is another level compared to the Swiss stopper.

A move to Hull would seem odd for Hart, but most of the top clubs in England and Europe already have their goalkeeper positions sorted – so Hart may need to look lower down the ladder.

Hull would provide him with regular Premier League football and a chance to showcase his incredible shot-stopping ability on a more regular basis.

It seems far-fetched but for both Hull and Hart this could be the perfect loan move.
