According to reports in The Sun, West Ham United are said to be interested in signing out-of-favour Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart on loan this summer.

With both Adrian and Darren Randolph making mistakes last season that saw them dropped from the starting line-up, Irons manager Slaven Bilic is obviously looking to bring in a new stopper – as long as they are an improvement on what he currently has.

The 30-year-old is surplus to requirements under City manager Pep Guardiola and spent last term on loan at Serie A outfit Torino, although he has already announced that he won’t be moving to the Italian outfit on a permanent deal.

With the 2018 World Cup just a year away, Hart will know that he needs to find a new club this summer in order to be playing first team football next term to ensure that he is still Gareth Southgate’s first choice keeper, but the Hammers certainly need to be wary of any deal.

Here are three reasons Hart wouldn’t be an upgrade on Adrian and Randolph…

Performances

While both Adrian and Darren Randolph would have come under criticism last season for high-profile errors, Hart has also been under scrutiny for the mistakes he has made over the course of the last couple of years.

The 30-year-old was crucified after he failed to make what looked like a routine save for England against Iceland at Euro 2016 – which resulted in a goal – while he was far from impressive for Torino after conceding 62 goals in 36 league appearances, or for the Three Lions against Scotland last weekend.

We all know that Hart can make great saves when needed, but so can the current Irons duo.

Concentration

If Bilic is to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer, he will want one that he knows is going to be an upgrade on Adrian and Randolph and can make a difference.

Hart’s concentration levels will certainly worry him in that respect, as the 30-year-old seems prone to errors when he has time to think about making a save – like against Iceland.

The fact that he was beaten twice from free-kicks by the same player in just a matter of minutes against Scotland last weekend only emphasises this point.

The future

While there is no doubt that Hart has shown what a class goalkeeper he is during his career, the fact that he is the same age as both Adrian and Randolph means a deal makes little sense as there seems to be few signs that he will improve.

If West Ham had have brought in someone like Jordan Pickford who is young and has the potential to improve then it may be a different story, but it’s hard to argue that Hart would be an upgrade on the two goalkeepers West Ham already have right now.
