Transfer Deadline Day: Hart completes Torino switch as big moves wait

Joe Hart has completed his loan switch to Torino and the England goalkeeper is unlikely to be the last high-profile departure from Manchester City on transfer deadline day.

Hart was photographed with a Torino shirt while enjoying a rapturous reception from supporters in Turin on Tuesday and the season-long loan move is likely to signal the end of a decorated career at City, who he joined in 2006.

Pep Guardiola’s move to reshape his Etihad Stadium squad is expected to have further confirmed casualties by the time the transfer window closes.

Wilfried Bony is expected to join Stoke City on loan following a cryptic tweet over his future on Wednesday, while Samir Nasri and and Eliaquim Mangala are reportedly LaLiga-bound, with Sevilla and Valencia the respective clubs in the frame.

Stoke have already secured their first arrival of a potentially busy deadline day, with goalkeeper Lee Grant joining on loan from Derby County until January, providing cover as England’s Jack Butland works his way back towards full fitness.

It’s a new day and I look forward to a new exciting challenge
