Paul Robinson believes that Joe Hart has been an “astute” signing for Tottenham after the former England number one displaced Paulo Gazzaniga as the club’s second choice.
Having struggled to see any game time during his last stint at Burnley, Hart was a surprising signing by Jose Mourinho who needed to meet the requirements on the quota for homegrown players in his team.
Hart has now become Tottenham’s second-choice goalkeeper, sitting only behind Hugo Lloris in the pecking order.
He has been used by the club in their Europa League campaign and he hasn’t disappointed so far.
Robinson, who was the number one at Spurs for some years thinks that the club did a very fine bit of business when they grabbed him for free from Burnley in the summer.
He told Football Insider: “Joe Hart has done exceptionally since he has come in.
“He has been given his opportunity in European games and a lot of teams sign English goalkeepers to fill their home-grown quota but in Joe Hart they have made a really astute signing.
“He has established himself as the club’s number two, ahead of Gazzaniga.
“He has already played more football this season than he did last season already.”
Hart will hope to keep playing and perhaps help win the Europa League for the club.
