Celtic have opened talks about the potential signing of Tottenham goalkeeper Joe Hart, according to reports. 

The England international is in the final year of his deal with the north London club and could be tempted to move after struggling for game time last season.

Hart only joined Spurs a year ago, but he spent last term as deputy to club captain Hugo Lloris, making just 10 appearances in all competitions and none in the Premier League.  

Kyogo Furuhasi, Carl Starfelt, Liel Abada, Liam Shaw and Osaze Urhoghide have already been brought in ahead of the new season. 

It’s a move that could suit both parties well. For Celtic, Hart would bring a wealth of experience and serious competition in what was a problem position last term.

For Hart, there is the prospect of European football and a chance to nail down a spot as the undisputed first choice stopper again – a role he hasn’t held since his campaign on loan at Torino in 2016/17.
