Arsenal legend David Seaman feels Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is capable of becoming the world's best.

Seaman, 49, is reluctant to heap extra expectation on the shoulders of a man 26 years his junior, but cannot help but be impressed by what he has seen.

He said: "I would never call anybody the best in the world because it puts too much pressure on them.

"But, that said, Joe's got the chance of becoming the best in the world one day.

"If he keeps progressing like he is doing, then it will be sooner rather than later.

"People talk about Gordon Banks and Peter Shilton, but I think Joe's already stepping in there by what he's done so far.

"It's early in his career but what he's achieved already, it's fantastic."
