Chelsea see Hart as ideal Courtois replacement

Chelsea see Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart as the ideal replacement for Thibaut Courtois.

The Daily Express says the Belgium international is in Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane's sights after a two transfer window ban was reduced to one, meaning they can sign players at the end of this season.

Antonio Conte and his staff have been drawing up a list of keepers that they believe could replace Courtois and they have put Hart's name at the very top of it.

Hart, who is on a season-long loan to Italian outfit Torino from Manchester City, has played his last game for them because he feels let down by Pep Guardiola.

City are willing to let him leave the club but this is where it could get complicated because they would prefer for him to move abroad.
