Birmingham City are favourites for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.

City boss Mark Hughes told the club's official website: "Joe is frustrated and obviously wants to play.

"We will look at his situation in the coming weeks and it might be to both Joe's and the club's benefit if he did go out on loan.

"He'd be playing on a regular basis and, given his ability, he would no doubt improve his standing in the game and help his development."

Hart, who is in the England Under-21 squad for the European Championships, has been linked with a loan move to newly-promoted Birmingham.
