    Hart, 33, is due to complete a medical and agree on a short-term deal with Spurs, having left Burnley at the end of his contract. The 75-cap England international is expected to compete with Paulo Gazzaniga as understudy to Mourinho’s No1 goalkeeper Lloris. Hart is thought to be confident of game-time at Spurs given next season’s hectic schedule and the prospect of an excess of Europa League fixtures. Mourinho is already facing the prospect of having to field an Under-23 side in the early round of the Carabao Cup – as Liverpool did last season – due to potential clashes with Europa League qualifiers.
