It looks as if it has finally happened.
The transfer saga that has been going on for over a month now has run it’s route and ended in the fashion many West Ham fans hoped it would have.
The first pictures of Joe Hart in a Claret and Blue shirt – albeit the training one – have emerged after reports suggest that the want away Manchester City star had completed his medical at the London Stadium and was to be announced as a West Ham player in the next few days.

While an official statement from the club is yet to come, the picture (unless incredibly well doctored) appears to be the real deal and all but confirms Hart’s switch from City.
The keeper has long been linked with a move to West Ham after being told he was surplus to requirements at the Etihad Stadium.
Hart is likely to assume the number one jersey this season as he looks to revitalise his career in his home country with the Hammers.
