Joe Hart has been labelled as a 'Rolls Royce' of a goalkeeper by Torino teammate Joel Obi.

The English gloveman joined the Serie A club on loan from Manchester City in the summer and has been in fine form between the sticks for Il Toro in recent times.

In the wake of the high-profile error of Hart's City replacement Claudio Bravo in the Champions League at Barcelona, Obi told The Sun that Torino are lucky to have the 29-year-old at their disposal.

“To have a goalkeeper like him changed the mood in the dressing room," Obi said of Hart.

“We felt like we'd bought a Rolls-Royce and the confidence level went through the roof.

“He's hard working and just got straight down to business from day one.

“You would think he has been a part of the club for couple of years.

“Some felt he was poorly treated at City but he didn't want sympathy from anyone. He just wanted to play football.

“He motivates the team and pushes everyone to give it their all. He says stuff like 'just do your job and I will not concede'. I think that extra desire not to fail has been a big factor for us.

“He hates to concede and, if he does, his reactions tell you how much we've failed as a team."
