Southampton offer Hart another attempt at salvation

Southampton are willing to offer Joe Hart a path to redemption next season after a poor season saw him miss out on England’s World Cup squad, according to the Mirror.

England’s former No.1 has spent the last two seasons out on loan from parent club Manchester City, at Torino and West Ham respectively.

With West Ham deciding not to make the move permanent, Hart is due to report back to City for pre-season, although it is unlikely the 31-year old will remain at the Etihad for the upcoming season.

However, Southampton and newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers are prepared to offer Hart another Premier League lifeline.

Both clubs are believed to be in the market for a new goalkeeper ahead of next season, and Hart could well fit the bill.

Southampton are keen to move on Fraser Forster and although Alex McCarthy has been fantastic since taking over first eleven duties, he has had plenty of suitors from other Premier League clubs.

If McCarthy does stay put, Hart is unlikely to want to play second-fiddle, meaning Wolves could well be in the driving seat in that regard.

Wolves are looking to build a squad capable of competing in the top flight and have enough money behind them to make some bold choices this summer. Alternatively, they could also move for Jack Butland of Stoke.
