Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has reportedly emerged as a possible transfer target for Nice.

Hart has just spent the most recent campaign on loan at West Ham United - with 23 appearances being made in all competitions - but the Hammers have opted against offering the England international a permanent move.

City are also prepared to allow the 31-year-old the opportunity to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer with just one year remaining on the stopper's contract, but according to the Daily Mail, Hart could take on a new challenge in France.

Patrick Vieira - a former coach at Man City - has just become the new manager of Nice and 'tentative' interest has been shown in striking a deal for the experienced number one.

Hart has spent the majority of his career in England but a year-long loan spell at Torino during the 2016-17 campaign provided the former Shrewsbury Town trainee with time on the continent.
