- Newcastle have revived their interest in taking goalkeeper Joe Hart on loan
- Rafa Benitez missed out on the England international in the summer window
- But Hart has fallen out of favour at West Ham since David Moyes has taken over
- West Ham and Manchester City would have to agree to terminate his loan first
- Hart may be tempted with hopes of retaining the No 1 jersey at the World Cup
Newcaslte are exploring a loan move for England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Hart has lost his place to Adrian at West Ham, which has thrown his place in England’s World Cup plans into jeopardy.
Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez was interested in taking Hart from Manchester City during the summer but lost out when the London club took him on loan.
Newcastle have revived their interest in signing goalkeeper Joe Hart on loan
Newcastle are now considering reviving their interest given Hart’s recent lack of action under David Moyes.
Any move would need West Ham and parent club City agreeing to terminate his existing loan deal.

Similarly, Hart’s wages are £120,000 per week so it would also depend on City and Newcastle reaching an agreement on sharing his salary.
A move may suit Hart with the World Cup six months away. England manager Gareth Southgate has made clear he expects his players to be playing regularly to have a chance of making his squad for Russia.
As it stands, Hart’s chances of playing are under threat, with Adrian established as Moyes’s first-choice goalkeeper.
