Sutton claims Celtic ‘should not touch’ 75-cap international linked with them this summer
Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has urged the club not to sign Joe Hart this summer. The 75-cap England international is a free agent and he has been linked with the Hoops recently. However, Sutton claims that Hart is past his peak and he would be a major gamble if Celtic decided to sign him. He has urged the Hoops to move to Fraser Forster indeed. Sutton said to Daily Record: “Why would Celtic, whether he cost money or a free transfer, want to spend big wages on Hart? He’s not the keeper that he was. He’s 33 years old, maybe he could come up and resurrect his career but Celtic cannot afford to take a gamble this season. That would be a gamble to sign Hart, looking at the form which he has been in. It hasn’t been good enough and Celtic cannot afford slip-ups.&nbs...
