Liverpool are reportedly tracking Joe Hart’s progress on loan at Torino.
According to The Mirror, Liverpool are closely monitoring England international goalkeeper Joe Hart as he continues to impress with Italian side Torino.
The Reds did snap up a goalkeeper over the summer as Loris Karius made the move to Anfield from Jurgen Klopp’s former club Mainz, and having starred in the Bundesliga last season, fans were excited by the 23-year-old’s arrival.
England’s Joe Hart
However, having supplanted Simon Mignolet as Liverpool’s first-choice goalkeeper, the German has struggled between the sticks – and led to Klopp recalling Mignolet to the Liverpool side as a result.
It’s unclear what the future holds for Karius and Mignolet, but Liverpool continue to be linked with other goalkeepers – and The Mirror claim that the Reds are closely monitoring England ace Joe Hart.
Torino’s Joe Hart in action
Hart, 29, was cast aside by Pep Guardiola upon his arrival at Manchester City over the summer, and was subsequently sent out on loan to Torino once City had signed Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.
Hart has impressed in Italy, rejuvenating his career with Torino in the process – and with 68 caps for England as well as more than 250 Premier League appearances with Manchester City, the former Shrewsbury youngster is bound to attract interest.
The report claims that Liverpool are watching Hart’s progress at Torino, and could be interested in a summer move to lure him away from Manchester City on a permanent basis.
Torino want to keep Hart permanently, but a return to England could be more appealing for him, and whilst he would give Klopp a proven Premier League goalkeeper, the Reds boss is unlikely to give up on Karius so quickly, and landing Hart would pose major questions over the German’s long-term future at Anfied.
