Hot Football Transfer Gossip: Hart 'furious' with Guardiola, 'Lord' Bendtner to return?

After almost 350 games, two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup win, Joe Hart is about to find himself third choice goalkeeper at Manchester City. And it's all because he can't pass. Well that, a perceived weakness to his left, his over-excitable pre-match nature and the impending £17m arrival of Chile keeper Claudio Bravo from Barcelona.

And according to the Mail, Hart is not happy with Pep Guardiola - in fact he's downright furious. He's particularly grumpy because he believes Guardiola decided long ago that he wasn't first choice keeper but he now faces a race against time to find a new club before the transfer window closes in a week's time. And to make things worse for England's no.1, according to the Express his often-touted exit route to Everton looks increasingly unlikely with Ronaldo Koeman and the Toffees cooling their interest.

Across town at Manchester United, The Guardian report defender Phil Jones wants to stay and battle it out for his place under Jose Mourinho - that's despite interest from Stoke City. But he may want to change his stance - Mourinho is still very keen on Southampton defender Jose Fonte and is willing to wait until transfer deadline day to get his man (Manchester Evening News).

Chelsea are preparing to make a £34million offer for AC Milan defender Alessio Romagnoli. The Stamford Bridge club made enquiries on Monday but despite being told he was not for sale are willing to offer £30m plus another £4m in add-ons for the young centre-back. (Daily Mail)

Moussa Sissoko is keen on a move to Real Madrid, but he may need to lower his sights to another team wearing white - namely Tottenham Hotspur. The Mirror report Spurs are even willing to offer Nabil Bentaleb as a makeweight in the deal.

Hull have opened talks with Tottenham over signing 25-year-old midfielder Ryan Mason. Spurs striker Clinton N'Jie, 23, is also set to join Marseille on a season-long loan as part of a deal for Tottenham to sign 21-year-old winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou which could finally go through after what seems like weeks...oh wait, it has been weeks.

And in depressingly familiar news for Arsenal fans, two of the club's targets are unlikely to arrive. Alexandre Lacazette, the 25-year-old Lyon forward, will definitely remain with the French club (RMC - in French) and Valencia boss Pako Ayestaran is confident of keeping centre-back Shkodran Mustafi, 24 (The Independent).

Lamine Kone has been told he will not be allowed to leave Sunderland by boss David Moyes and Newcastle have accepted an offer by Watford for right back Daryl Janmaat.

Aston Villa defender Micah Richards could be about to offered a way back into the Premier League (well, at least until Hull are relegated again this season...) with the Tigers' caretaker manager Mike Phelan wanting to make him his first signing. (Daily Mirror)

And in what could be the transfer deal of the summer, 'Lord' Nicklas Bendtner could be about to wing his way back to these shores following his release from Wolfsburg with QPR reportedly interested.
