Joe Hart puts horrible Torino debut mistake behind him and reveals he has been welcomed to Italian club with open arms
The on-loan Manchester City keeper made a howler in his first game but insists he is settling well with his new team-mates
JOE HART brushed aside his Torino debut howler and declared: I'm happy to be here.
The England international was frozen out by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and sealed a loan move to the Italian club.
And even though it was the stoppers fault for one of Atalanta's goals in his debut, Hart revealed he has been welcomed with open arms at the club.
Hart said: “My mistake? They can happen. The Coach [Sinisa Mihajlovic] has received me well and I’m working hard to improve day-by-day.
“I’m learning Italian. I’m very happy to be here and I’m learning the words that a goalkeeper needs.
“There are differences with the Premier League and I’m working hard to integrate with the squad.
“I have a good Italian teacher who helps me to learn Italian and communicate with everyone. I’ll be able to do it.
