The West Ham stopper, on loan from Manchester City, has played in Turin before.

West Ham United’s on-loan goalkeeper Joe Hart’s poor form has seen him dropped from the starting line-up at the London Stadium.
It comes after being cast into the dark at Manchester City and he is now said to be considering a move abroad once again – as reported by The Sun.
He spent one season on loan at Torino, where he got regular football, but received mixed reviews for his performances.

So his options abroad look thin, but could the struggling West Ham man have just received a potential gift from Italian giants Juventus.
After an indifferent performance in their recent draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League it has been increasingly suggested that this will be legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon’s final season at the club.
The 40-year-old’s retirement might give Hart hope of a return to Turin, but with the Old Lady.
Juventus currently have former Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny as their back-up stopper and the Polish goalie could easily push for a starting place at Juve.

Hart would relish the chance to battle for that role and the Bianconeri are never afraid to give a chance for a player who has been written off.
There is no doubt that Hart is a quality goalkeeper. The England number one was once putting in a string of fantastic performances for Manchester City but his confidence simply looks shot at this moment in time.
West Ham won’t be keeping him, and City wll want him gone.
But if Buffon hangs up his gloves, Hart might just land on his feet at one of the biggest clubs in European football.
