Seaman: West Ham keeper Hart remains England best

Arsenal hero David Seaman believes West Ham goalkeeper Joe Hart remains England's best.

On-loan Manchester City keeper Hart has not played a Premier League game since the end of November for the Hammers.

Seaman said: "It is a problem. And it's going to become more of a problem the more he doesn't play. Joe, we're talking. Joe's situation... the other two are getting closer to him. They're at a great standard.

"For me, Joe's at a higher standard because of the levels he's played at. Joe's done all of them. Jordan Pickford and Jack Butland have not done that level.

"You've always got to be careful. You look at what happened to Scott Carson. When he came in for his debut, his England debut, in that massive game, he made a mistake in his first five minutes and it went. You've always got to be cautious of that."
