West Ham United and Newcastle United have been linked with Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle United are interested in signing Joe Hart from Manchester City in the summer transfer window, according to The Daily Mail.

It has been reported that Newcastle have made an enquiry about the England international goalkeeper, who helped City win the Premier League title in 2012 and 2014.

West Ham United are also claimed to have interest in the 30-year-old, with the report stating that the Hammers want to sign him on a loan deal.

Could wages be a problem?

Hart knows the Premier League inside out, and the Englishman would be a decent signing for Newcastle or West Ham.

However, wages could be an issue for the Magpies. According to The Telegraph, Hart is on £110,000-a-week at City.

Would Newcastle be willing to spend over £100,000 per week on a 30-year-old? Would the Magpies be able to afford it?

The Magpies will feature in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.
