West Ham captain Mark Noble is excited by their imminent swoop for Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.

The England No1 is due to undergo a Hammers medical today ahead of signing terms.

Noble is delighted with the development and told Sky Sports: "Hart has been fantastic for England and for his clubs for the past 10 years.

"He probably deserves a bit more respect."

Hart's deal is expected to be for an initial season-long loan.
