Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart set to join Burnley in permanent £4million deal

JOE HART is set to end the uncertainty over his future and sign for Burnley imminently in a permanent £4million deal.
The former England stopper, 31, has been itching to leave Manchester City for good after a spate of loan deals.
And Hart is currently en route to Turf Moor to undergo a medical ahead of the proposed move.
Sean Dyche meanwhile has been desperate to bring in a new goalkeeper - with both Nick Pope and Tom Heaton injured.
England's reserve World Cup keeper Pope dislocated his shoulder earlier this week and is set to miss months of action.
Now Dyche, braced for a huge season both domestically and in Europe, is turning to veteran star Hart - who spent last season on loan at West Ham.
The deal is set to be announced as early as tonight in an intriguing move for both parties.
Hart has been at City since 2006 - and has played a role in two of the club's three Premier League title campaigns.
However, he's fallen out of favour in recent seasons following the arrival of Pep Guardiola at the club - first shipped off to Torino on loan and then West Ham last year.
Surprisingly, he travelled with Man City to take part in their US tour, although he was unable to change the opinion of Guardiola.
Hart had also been linked with Chelsea, Manchester United and Nice - but it would appear Burnley have won the race.
