West Ham United transfer news: Hammers eye Burnley's Tom Heaton as Joe Hart replacement

West Ham are looking to bring in Burnley’s Tom Heaton to replace the inconsistent Joe Hart next season.

According to reports in The Sun, the Hammers are targeting the £10million-rated Burnley player in order to stabilise their problem between the sticks.

Hart, 31, who spent the campaign at the east London side on loan from Manchester City, struggled for form which appears to have cost him a place in England’s World Cup squad.

Heaton would have been pushing for a seat on the plane to Russia but was hampered by a badly dislocated shoulder in the fourth game of the 2017/18 campaign, which left him sidelined for five months.
