Top 5 Premier League players expected to leave in this winter transfer window for a spot in their World Cup squad

2. Joe Hart

Transfer linked with : STOKE CITY, JUVENTUS

It has been a difficult season so far for the England International. A series of back to back mistakes has placed his spot as Manchester city’s no 1 in scrutiny. Now Manuel Pelligrini is searching for a first choice goalkeeper and using the reserve goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon as his first choice shot stopper. There are strong rumours that City will offer Stoke £15m and a loan of Hart until the end of the season to make the Bosna and Herzegovina international Asmir Begovic to the Ethihad stadium. With the retirement of the legendary Gian Luigi Buffon from Juventus sooner or later, there will be a big spot to recover for the “Old lady” and Joe Hart is considered to be the favorite.

In the National side he will be battling against Fraser Forster and John Ruddy as the first choice keeper. Even though these duo was used in the recent friendlies for England, their Boss Roy Hodson has stood beside Joe hart since he has been axed by City. So Hart might remain Hodson’s No 1 going into next summer’s World Cup whatever happens for the remainder of the season at Citizens. But isn’t it awkward that a first choice player in National side is finding hard to be the first choice for his club? However he has to move on and accept the transfer to revive his career.
