The England number one has lost his place at the London Stadium to Adrian.

The London Evening Standard is reporting that Joe Hart is looking to leave West Ham United and secure another loan move before the close of the transfer window.

England’s long-standing number one has lost his place at the London Stadium to Adrian and fears a lack of football will jeopardise his World Cup ambitions this summer.

Here are three potential destinations for Hart if he gets his way…

Crystal Palace

Vicente Guaita of Getafe CF reacts during La Liga 2 play off round between Getafe and CD Tenerife at Coliseum Alfonso Perez Stadium on June 24, 2017 in Getafe, Spain.

The Eagles have already agreed a deal to sign a goalkeeper this month – Vicente Guaita from Getafe according to Sky Sports – but the 31-year-old is not expected to join Palace until he becomes a free agent in the summer.

If Roy Hodgson, who made Hart a senior player when he was England boss, wants a more immediate upgrade on Julian Speroni and Wayne Hennessey, then he could try to reunite with the stopper for the second half of this season.

Newcastle United

Similarly to the situation at Palace, the goalkeepers at Newcastle have been rotated this season with Rafael Benitez seemingly unable to decide on whether he should entrust Karl Darlow or Rob Elliot for their relegation battle.

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez  reacts during the Premier League match between Manchester City and Newcastle United at Etihad Stadium on January 20, 2018 in Manchester, England.

According to the Daily Mail, Benitez is keen to improve his goalkeeping options this January and has already asked about Hart. Although West Ham were reluctant earlier this month, the player could yet force their hand.

Liverpool

Goalkeeper continues to be a problem position for Liverpool, whose manager Jurgen Klopp has recently promoted Loris Karius to first choice above Simon Mignolet without making the Reds goal any vulnerable in this area.

It might be something that Klopp waits until the summer to address, but if he wanted to bring in somebody different now then Anfield would be a great move for Hart. Is he any better than Karius or Mignolet, though?
