Southampton are preparing for a goalkeeper merry-go-round by tracking Joe Hart.

According to a report in The Sun, Southampton are tracking the Torino keeper in case Everton make a move for Fraser Forster.

Hart will be available for a permanent transfer in the summer with half a dozen clubs jockeying for position.

The list could be added to if Real Madrid are able to convince Manchester United, Chelsea or Spurs to sell their keeper to the Spanish giants.

Forster is presently understudy to Hart in the England squad but is expected to be the subject of a bid from Everton where his old boss Ronald Koeman is a huge fan.

If that materialises Saints will make an offer to City for Hart.

The England keeper is likely to get offers from bigger clubs but settling in quickly at Southampton may be tempting as a World Cup season approaches although a permanent deal from Torino could prove tempting to Hart.
