Joe Hart lined up to join ex-England team-mate Wayne Rooney at Derby on free transfer with Besiktas also interested
JOE HART is hoping to end his nightmare with a move – and Turkish side Besiktas and Derby County are keen.
The former Manchester City and England number one is out of contract at Burnley and planning to make a break to play again.
The Turks are interested in him because of his top reputation and past experiences in European football.
However the deal will hinge on whether Besiktas can do a deal to keep Loris Karius.
Hart also has interest from Wayne Rooney’s Derby but they may not have much money to offer next season.
Meanwhile Hart is one of several Burnley players who are out of contract at the end of the season.
Despite that the Clarets are committed to seeing out the campaign rather than put up obstacles to block the move.
BACK FER BIG DEAL
Nathan Ferguson is one of the few players who will benefit from a long lay-off.
West Brom’s right-back needed knee surgery after his deadline day deal to Crystal Palace fell through.
Ferguson, 19, faces six months on the sidelines until he recovers.
That will take him out of contract at the Baggies.

However, Palace are still keen to complete the signing and will try to sort out an adjusted price with Albion or go to a tribunal.
Ferguson was moving for around £8million plus extras in January. That figure may go down if he joins the Eagles now.
Other clubs at home and abroad watched Ferguson but none have shown signs of taking him without seeing the defender play again after his injury.
