    Joe Hart will fly to Italy this morning for a medical before his loan move to Torino.

    Hart will hope to enjoy his time at the club rather more than another famous British export, Denis Law, who lasted a year before moving to Manchester United for a British record £115,000 in 1962.

    Torino’s need for Hart is fairly obvious.

    They have only managed one clean sheet in their past 14 Serie A games and have already conceded four times in two games so far this season.

    Saido Berahino has been a major story around the last two transfer windows without moving anywhere.

    The West Brom striker is about to enter the final year of his contract and amid a flurry of activity at the Hawthorns, it has been suggested Berahino could make a deadline day move to Stoke.

    It could happen. But the 23-year-old was leaning towards staying at West Brom for the season, having been denied the opportunity to leave earlier in the summer.

    And by going abroad on holiday for a few days, Berahino has hardly put himself in the best position to complete a last-minute deal.
