Hart signs but no option to buy

Manchester City keeper Joe Hart has officially signed for West Ham on season long loan but there is no official option to buy the shot stopper at the end of the loan period.

The Hammers are thought to funding fifty percent of the England keepers £170,000 per week wages meaning we invest around £4m in the 30-year-old.

And speaking to WHUFC.com he said: “It’s important for me to play football and to get the opportunity to come here and play is absolutely awesome.

“To be playing in the Premier League for a big club like West Ham, I’m really looking forward to the season.

“I’ve always loved the Club. I think you’ll struggle to find anyone, apart from the direct opposing fans around London, who doesn’t love the club.

It’s got something about it, it’s got a lot history and I’ve always loved playing against West Ham. We’ve moved into London Stadium and we’ve got Slaven in charge who I’ve spoken to and I’ve always enjoyed as a manager.

He obviously did a good job with Croatia and he’s doing a good job here, so to get the opportunity to come here, it wasn’t really a hard decision.”
