Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart looks set to join West Ham United in the summer transfer window, but former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan does not seem to rate him.
Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart seems to be on the verge of joining West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
According to BBC Sport, the England international goalkeeper has completed his medical at the Hammers and will join the London club on a season-long loan deal.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper, who spent the 2016-17 campaign on loan at Italian club Torino, does not seem to be in the plans of City manager Pep Guardiola.
Hart is a hugely experienced goalkeeper who knows the Premier League inside out. The Englishman played an important role in the Citizens winning the league titles in 2012 and 2014.
Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan, though, does not seem to be a fan of the England international, and has said that Hart is a “poor” goalkeeper.
“I think Joe Hart is a poor goalkeeper,” said Jordan on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (broadcast from 6am, July 17, 2017).
“I think in the World Cup of 2010 he did nothing but pick the ball up from the back of the net, and I am not surprised that he finds himself descending down the pyramid of clubs.
“I certainly don’t think he is England’s number one anymore, but this doesn’t mean he isn’t a decent goalkeeper. I just don’t think he is at the top of the pantheon of goalkeepers.”
West Ham also need to sign a top-quality striker in the summer transfer window in order to have a successful 2017-18 campaign. The Hammers need a proven goalscorer who can find the net 15 to 20 times in the Premier League.
