Joe Hart has said that contract talks to keep him at Manchester City are "pretty much sorted".

Hart, No 1 for both club and country, has been in discussions for a new five-year deal for the last few months, but believes talks are coming to a close. His current deal is set to expire in summer 2016.

The 27-year-old has been at the club since 2006, after joining from Shrewsbury Town for £600,000, and has played nearly 300 games for the club.

"As far as I am aware it is pretty much sorted," he said. "I want to be here as long as I can.

"I love this place and I love everything about Manchester City. I have been here for a long time. I feel like it is my club now. I am very happy at this club and hopefully in the near future I will be signing that contract."

Some reports suggest Hart's new deal could be worth up to £120,000-a-week.

The goalkeeper temporarily lost his place to new arrival Willy Caballero in September, but he has been in fine form since.
