Hart would be shrewd signing for Villa

According to Alan Nixon of The Sun, Aston Villa are on the hunt for a new No.1 goalkeeper this summer. Despite Jed Steer ending the campaign as Dean Smith’s first-choice between the sticks, he could be demoted to a backup role next season.

A shot-stopper boasting vast Premier League experience and international pedigree could be the ideal replacement for Steer, so Villa should look to bring Joe Hart to Villa Park. The £45k-per-week ‘keeper has struggled for playing time at Burnley and could be open to a move for regular playing time.
