Premier League leaders Chelsea are reported to have held talks with Joe Hart regarding a potential move to Stamford Bridge in the summer.

According to The Express, the 29-year-old had met up with Chelsea officials in Milan yesterday as he bids to seal a move to west London next season.

Blues number one Thibaut Courtois has emerged as the top target for Real Madrid for the summer, and it is said that the Belgian would favour a return to the Spanish capital where he had fond memories with Atletico Madrid - three-year loan spell between 2011-14.

Hart has appeared in 20 league outings for Torino this term, keeping five clean sheets in the process.
