Joe Hart is still England's best between the sticks, says goalkeeping legend David Seaman

David Seaman believes Joe Hart is still England's best goalkeeper and the former Arsenal stopper insists any potential replacements are 'nowhere near as good'.

Following a poor showing at Euro 2016, Hart became surplus to Manchester City's requirements as new manager Pep Guardiola insisted he required a keeper who could play a sweeper role.

Hart's place as City number one was filled by Claudio Bravo, who joined the club from Barcelona, but the Chilean has endured a torrid first season in the Premier League and has consequently been dropped for Willy Caballero.

Hart decided to join Serie A side Torino on a season-long loan at the end of the summer transfer window and the 29-year-old has since gone on to make a total of 27 appearances for the club.
