Arsenal To Bid £10 million For Manchester City Goalkeeper Joe Hart - Report
Arsene Wenger has not been impressed by his shot-stoppers this season...
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will make a £10 million bid for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart as the Frenchman has seen enough shaky performances from Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski.
A fifth consecutive year without a trophy could put pressure on the Gunners boss to make a switch as his two goalkeepers have made some bad errors this season, according to the Daily Star.
Hart has played well on loan at Birmingham City, compiling 12 shut-outs in the Premier League this season and putting himself in contention for a spot on England’s World Cup squad.
City have one of the Premier League’s best goalkeepers in Shay Given and could cash in on the 23-year-old if Arsenal intends to upgrade at goalkeeper.
