Joe Hart should welcome an approach if it comes from Benitez. With the Newcastle fans behind him, he could soon get back to his goalkeeping best.
Joe Hart has been in a spin since England crashed out of the Euro’s a year ago. Following that, Pep Guardiola didn’t waste any time on sending Hart out on loan to Torino.
The spell in Italy should have refreshed his appetite for the Premier League. Now Hart is back in England, he needs a fresh challenge to retain his England number one shirt.
West Ham are still the bookies’ favourites to sign him on loan at 7/4, according to SkyBet. Yet, Newcastle should also move for the keeper to underpin their ambitions to stay in the Premier League. It would also be an exciting challenge for Joe Hart to get him back on track.

Hart has his critics and at times rightly so, but he is used to the great atmosphere of grounds like Newcastle’s St James Park, and he needs to join a demanding team to rebuild his own confidence.
The Newcastle fans would be another strong factor for him to push for a move to Tyneside. They create heroes with their passion and excitement for the game, and there’s nothing quite like playing in front of home support like that.
By going to the northeast, Hart would also be joining a club that wants to make significant progress – now that they are back in the top tier. A lot of the players there have Premier League experience and Hart would be a leading figure among them.

Hart would quickly forget his torrid year, if Newcastle United do well and get off to a solid start. Benitez also has the experience to lift players that need to bounce back from disappointments, which would be a help to Hart.
