Burnley will reportedly relieve their goalkeeping crisis by signing Manchester City stopper Joe Hart.

Burnley will reportedly relieve their goalkeeping crisis by signing Manchester City stopper Joe Hart.

The Clarets are short of options between the sticks after Tom Heaton was sidelined with a calf injury, before Nick Pope dislocated a shoulder in his side's Europa League second-round qualifier first leg with Aberdeen.

According to The Sun, however, Hart will undergo a medical with the Lancashire club ahead of a £4m deal, which could be completed by Saturday at the earliest.

Hart, who has has been at City since 2006, fell out of favour after Pep Guardiola took charge, sending the player out on loan to Torino and, more recently, West Ham United.

The England international, who has 75 Three Lions caps, also dropped out of the national team while playing for the Hammers.
