Liverpool are ready to focus on signing Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart this year.

The Daily Star says Liverpool are reportedly set to step up their interest in Hart.

Hart, 29, has impressed on loan at Torino this season, keeping five clean-sheets in 18 top-flight appearances and becoming a firm fan favourite in the process.

But, according to Tuttosport, the Italian outfit have given up all hope of signing the England international permanently and will instead pursue a move for Lukasz Skorupski of Roma.

They claim that Liverpool have already made tentative enquiries over a deal to take Hart to Anfield.

However Jurgen Klopp will have to wait until the summer to land the former Shrewsbury shot-stopper because he has already played for two clubs this term.
