I want to be wanted — Hart

JOE Hart acknowledges his future i s uncertain and believes being a club’s No 1 goalkeeper is more important than making a Premier League return.

The England keeper has made 26 appearances for Serie A side Torino this season after being allowed to leave Manchester City on loan last summer by incoming manager Pep Guardiola.

Hart admits he does not know where he will be playing next season but thinks going back to the Etihad Stadium is unlikely.

“I’d say I’m pretty much surplus to requirements at my parent club at t he moment,” he said.

“I want to play football, I love to play football. If that opportunity’s not going to be given there then I’ m going t o have t o l ook elsewhere and I may have to make somewhere else my home.

“The best thing I can do is work hard, do my best for Torino, do my best when I represent my country and, hopefully, the rest will take care of itself.

“I love the Premier League but I wouldn’t say it’s top of my wishlist. Top of my wishlist is to play for a club that wants me to be their goalkeeper.”

Hart played one match under former Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach Guardiola at City — a Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest in August — before being allowed to move to Italy.

The 29-year-old, who has won 68 England caps, does not believe Guardiola’s treatment of him was personal.

“I want to say it was really bad but it wasn’t because I kind of saw it coming,” he added.

“I know it’s nothing personal on me, he’s not that kind of guy.”
