West Ham appear to have included an unfortunate typo as part of their Joe Hart announcement

Oops...

After spending last season on loan at Torino, Joe Hart is back in the Premier League.

The England number one remains contracted to Manchester City, but has agreed a season-long loan with West Ham.

Clearly, the London club are quite excited about the arrival of their new goalkeeper, sharing several posts about it on their social media channels in the time since the deal was confirmed.

The reaction of Joint-Chairman David Sullivan was also featured on the club’s website, tweeted out on Wednesday morning.

Having previously worked at Birmingham City, a club at which Hart spent a season on loan earlier in his career, Sullivan explained that the England international was the best goalkeeper he had ever worked with, adding that he had spent ‘some months’ on a deal to take him to the London Stadium.

However, as pointed out by the tweet below (you can’t get away with anything these days), the write up of Sullivan’s reaction also appeared to feature a rather unfortunate typo…

‘We said at the start of the summer that we wanted to prioritise quantity over quality and that is what we have done, and what we will continue to do.’

‘Quantity over quality’…

Needless to say, the slight mistake has since been fixed. Unfortunately, not before people noticed…
