Joe Hart hasn’t enjoyed a brilliant star to life at West Ham United.

Mark Schwarzer has told Goal.com that it is only a matter of time before Joe Hart produces his best form for West Ham United.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper joined the Irons on a season-long loan from Manchester City in the summer but it hasn’t exactly been a fairytale start to life in London.

Hart, who spent last season at Torino, has conceded 13 goals in the Premier League this season – same amount as bottom-of-the-table Crystal Palace.

Of course, you can’t blame the West Ham keeper for them, given that Slaven Bilic’s defence is hardly solid, but the England stopper hasn’t looked at his best as of yet.

However, Schwarzer tells Goal.com that he is confident Hart will peak eventually.

“Obviously, he had a difficult season recently but to come back to England and playing for West Ham would be very good for his career and maintaining No.1 in England team.

“He would need time to adjust in West Ham. It’s a very different team to Man City. West Ham is not performing very well until now, but I think it won’t be long for Joe Hart to play his best.”

Hart is on a whopping £175,000 per week, with West Ham paying £120,000 of that according to The Sun. He is a very big investment, even though it’s only a loan deal, and he simply has to start producing the goods sooner or later.
