With Joe Hart leaving Manchester City in the summer to join Italian side Torino, the title of best English goalkeeper in the Premier League is up for grabs. But with a number of contenders in with a shout, who would you pick? Before you get a chance to vote in our HITC Sport poll, here’s a look at some of the contenders…

1. Tom Heaton (Burnley)

The Burnley goalkeeper has been in top form for the Clarets this season, and has been a major part of Sean Dyche’s success over the last few years. Now firmly involved in the England squad, is Heaton the best English keeper in the Premier League?

2. Jordan Pickford (Sunderland)

Sunderland fans haven’t had much to smile about this season, but the performances of Jordan Pickford have been something of a highlight for Black Cats supporters. At just 22-years-old, Jordan Pickford has got a huge future ahead of him. But will it be spent at Sunderland? That much will depend on whether or not David Moyes can save the club from relegation this season.

3. Fraser Forster (Southampton)

The Southampton keeper hasn’t had the best of seasons this year, but still remains as one of the top goalkeepers in the Premier League. After joining the Saints from Celtic, Fraser Forster has become an integral part of the high-achieving squad at St Marys.

4. Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion)

More experienced than any of the other keepers on this list, Ben Foster has been a top performer at the highest level for a number of years now. An important part of Tony Pulis’ highly defensive side, Foster provides the steady and consistent base in which West Bromwich Albion’s play begins.

5. Jack Butland (Stoke City)

The Stoke City keeper was in outstanding form before an injury put him out of action for a lengthy spell at the start of the season. Former Derby County keeper Lee Grant has stood in for the young England star, but after he showed so much promise, is Jack Butland still in with a shout for the best English keeper in the Premier League?
