Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says he doesn't want to sign Joe Hart, but is hopeful of bringing back Jack Wilshere after his loan spell at Bournemouth

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out making a move for Manchester City exile Joe Hart.

Hart is currently on loan at Serie A club Torino and after a shaky start to life in Italy, the England international goalkeeper has impressed and is now being linked with a move back to the Premier League.

However, Wenger insist he has no intention of signing Hart during the summer window and is happy with his current three goalkeepers, Petr Cech, David Ospina and Emiliano Martinez - while Wojciech Szczesny is also out on loan at Roma.

When asked if he was considering a move for Hart, Wenger responded: "No, I have three world-class goalkeepers and I'm very happy with the three I have."

Wenger also hit back at reports suggesting Bournemouth no longer want to sign on-loan midfielder Jack Wilshere on a permanent deal at the end of the season.

Bournemouth would almost certainly have to pay a club-record fee for Wilshere if they wanted to sign him permanently and recent reports have suggested Eddie Howe is yet to be convinced by the midfielder.

Wenger claims he has had no contact with the south coast club over Wilshere's long-term future and expects the midfielder to return to his parent club once his loan move is completed.
