JOE HART’S NEXT STEP?
Sky sources understand Joe Hart will leave Man City before the transfer deadline - so where could he end up?
Here's a look at the potential options for Hart if he does leave the Etihad...
Sevilla (12/1 with Sky Bet)
The Andalusian outfit are another side lacking a No 1, with three different goalkeepers used in the final five games of their 2015/16 campaign.
Sergio Rico, 22, started between the sticks in their UEFA Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup games but conceded five times in successive defeats. The departures of Grzegorz Krychowiak and Kevin Gameiro mean the club are in a rare position to invest, although it would be a surprise if they were capable of matching Hart's wages.
They are, however, unlike the aforementioned duo, capable of offering him Champions League football after securing qualification courtesy of a third successive Europa League title.

ICYMI: HART SET FOR EXIT?
England keeper Joe Hart looks set to leave Manchester City this summer, according to Sky sources.
Hart was overlooked by boss Pep Guardiola for the 2-1 Premier League win at Sunderland last Saturday and also City's 5-0 Champions League win against Steaua Bucharest yesterday, prompting a fresh wave of speculation that his City future hangs in the balance.
City are thought to have all but agreed a deal to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo and Sky Sports News HQ reporter Vinny O'Connor says Hart's days in Manchester look to be numbered.
"We understand Joe Hart is going to assess his options that are open to him over the next couple of weeks," he said ahead of City's Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest in Romania. There is reported interest from Sevilla in Spain but I think the preferred option would be to remain in the Premier League, and to that end, Everton could possibly be an option.
"Certainly, Everton are looking to bolster their goalkeeping ranks further following the acquisition of Maarten Stekelenburg, who made a decent debut against Spurs at the weekend, but Everton are looking for an established number one and [would be] interested in someone of the calibre of Joe Hart. But to add to that it is my understanding that there has been no formal contact between the two parties in that respect. It's a little more than two years since he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2019 but it seems his time at City is coming to a premature end."
