"I am open. I love the Premier League. I love Premier League games. Removing myself as a footballer, I love watching the Premier League. It is a great league, fantastic football played in it and I know it really, really well. But I wouldn't say it is top of my wish list. Top of my wish list is to play for a club that wants me to be their goalkeeper",Hart said to BBC.
The Citizens will expect in excess of£20m for the shot stopper and with his wages set at£100,000-a-week, it is certain that Torino would not be able to afford Hart which makes his move to another club in the summer a given.
