West Ham reserve goalkeeper Joe Hart has asked to be released from his season-long loan as a result of losing his first team spot to Adrian, say The Times.
The 30-year-old hasn't featured in the Premier Legaue for West Ham since losing his place to Adrian last November and is understood to be fearful of losing his England spot as a result, ahead of this summer's World Cup Finals in Russia.Embed from Getty Images
Rumoured to be on a six-figure weekly wage, the offer will no doubt prove tempting to a West Ham Board that has failed to spend a single penny on transfer fees during the current transfer window.
Once posible destination suggested is Newcastle, although the Hammers would almost certainly be reticent to see Hart leave in order to boost the squad of another club fighting a relegation battle.
Just 24 hours ago Hart expressed his disappointment at West Ham's FA Cup exit at Wjgan. "It's very disappointing on my behalf, because I want to perform," he said. "Losing 2-0 at Wigan is difficult, so I'm struggling for positives."
