Are West Ham United going to announce the Manchester City goalkeeper today?
Sky Sports have reported that West Ham United could announce a deal for Joe Hart today after the Manchester City goalkeeper completed a medical on Friday.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this week that the 30-year-old is “almost certain” to join West Ham as the Irons get their transfer business underway.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic has only signed Bosman Pablo Zabaleta so far this summer – a team-mate of Hart’s at Manchester City – but Sky Sports claims that the veteran keeper could be announced today.
The report goes on to claim that Hart, who spent last season on loan at Torino, will initially join the East Londoners on loan, with a permanent deal an option to them in May.
West Ham fans have been frustrated by Bilic’s failure to sign a striker so far, but surely Hart’s arrival would buy the Croat a little more time to bolster his striking options.
Hart, a two-time Premier League champion with the Sky Blues, would represent a great signing by the Irons, if and when it materialises.
Other positions in the squad certainly need strengthening, but if Bilic bolsters those positions with the same calibre of Hart then it could be a brilliant season for United next term.
