Hart, whose West Ham United loan spell ends this month, could have been a Wolverhampton Wanderers player already.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have emerged as one bookmaker’s favourites to sign Joe Hart at the end of his West Ham United loan spell this summer.

Wolves have been linked with a number of ambitious moves since securing their promotion back to the Premier League and Hart – who was England’s number one goalkeeper for the best part of the current decade – would tie in with that theme.

That being said, the 31-year-old has struggled to replicate the form he once showed at parent club Manchester City, with whom he has won two league titles and three domestic cups.

However, according to Paddy Power’s next club market Hart could still have plenty of admirers, with Celtic (7/2), West Ham (4/1), Wolves and Crystal Palace (both 7/1) all in the running to sign him before September 3rd.

Hart, who was born and raised 30 miles from Wolverhampton in Shrewsbury, revealed in 2016 that he was binned by Wanderers following a trial there while Dave Jones was manager (Express & Star).
