Former England No1 Joe Hart is closing in on a move to Tottenham after running down his Burnley contract last season.
Jose Mourinho is keen to sign a homegrown reserve goalkeeper following Michel Vorm’s departure at the end of the season, and is now set to snap up Hart on a free transfer.
Tottenham risk having to name a reduced squad in both Premier League and Uefa competitions as they currently have too many players who do not qualify as homegrown.
Hart will help address that balance at Spurs, where he will join up with fellow goalkeepers Hugo Lloris and Paulo Gazzaniga.
The 33-year-old moved to Turf Moor two years ago, making 19 appearances in his first season before enduring a difficult second campaign at Burnley. Nick Pope was installed as first-choice goalkeeper and Hart made just three appearances in cup competitions.
