Is reported West Ham United target Simon Sluga a replacement for Joe Hart, who is going back to Manchester City?
However, according to the report, although West Ham were close to the signing of the 25-year-old goalkeeper for a transfer fee of £2.5 million, the deal has been put on hold.
That’s due to the departure of David Moyes as the Hammers’ manager, according to the report, with the London club yet to appoint a replacement.
Joe Hart replacement?
Hart is going back to his parent club Manchester City following his season-long loan deal at West Ham.
The England international goalkeeper had a rather mixed season at the London Stadium, and while the 31-year-old made some good saves, the former Shrewsbury Town star made some costly errors.
Sluga is a good goalkeeper, and for £2.5m, the former Croatia Under-21 international could prove to be a bargain signing for West Ham, who narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship at the end of the season.
