Newcastle United remain in the market for further additions during the January transfer window and the ideal opportunity may be about to fall into the hands of Rafael Benitez’s side.
The Magpies are seeking the addition of a new goalkeeper before Wednesday evening’s deadline, with neither Karl Darlow or Rob Elliot establishing themselves as quality options, and reports suggest they could be presented with a golden opportunity.
According to The Times, England international Joe Hart is looking to bring an early end to his loan spell with West Ham due to a lack of consistent opportunities- and Newcastle could swoop to land a move.
Hart has fallen behind Adrian in the pecking order at the London Stadium and wants a fresh opportunity as he seeks to cement his spot as England’s number one for the World Cup in Russia this summer.
Whilst it would take a major turn in events for Newcastle to end up with his services, Hart will certainly be pushed away from Manchester City again if his loan with the Hammers is cut short and Newcastle could then take advantage.
