Maarten Stekelenburg and Joel Robles would find it difficult to “prevent” Joe Hart from being the main man at Everton if he were to sign this summer, according to Sky Sports.
The report lists Ronald Koeman’s side as one of five Premier League clubs who could land the signature of the out-of-favour Manchester City keeper this summer.
Sky Sports report that current keepers Stekelenburg and Robles, who have both endured inconsistent seasons, would be unlikely to stop Hart grabbing the No1 shirt if he signed.
The 30-year-old, who has won two Premier League titles during his career, recently concluded his loan spell with Italian outfit Torino, who finished off the Serie A campaign in the top ten.
Premier League champions Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Leicester City are the five options Sky Sports provides for Hart.
Leading bookmaker Sky Bet have priced Hart as a 13/8 favourite to make a switch to Goodison Park before September 3.
Antonio Conte’s side are priced at (7/2) to land his signature, while the likes of Liverpool (11/2), Manchester United (7/1) and Leicester (9/1) are the teams behind them in the betting list.
Despite his team finishing a respectable ninth in Serie A this season, Hart only managed to keep five clean sheets from his 36 league matches.
Hart will now return to home soil where he will be tasked to help England and Gareth Southgate’s side edge closer to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The Three Lions will face neighbours Scotland in a World Cup qualifier next month before travelling to France for a friendly encounter.
