# Haggerty surprised no other clubs went for Joe Hart amid Celtic deal

**[The Celtic Way](https://www.celticway.co.uk/) writer Tony Haggerty was surprised that no other clubs were in for goalkeeper Joe Hart this summer.**

Hart signed a [three-year](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/august/Double-signing-delight-as-Joe-Hart-and-James-McCarthy-join-Celtic/) deal with Celtic earlier this month joining from Tottenham Hotspur and has put in some brilliant performances so far for the Hoops.

The 34-year-old shot-stopper has featured [six](https://www.transfermarkt.com/joe-hart/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/40204/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) times for Celtic in all competitions and has kept [four](https://www.transfermarkt.com/joe-hart/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/40204/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) clean sheets in the process.

The former England International represented his country on [75](https://www.transfermarkt.com/joe-hart/nationalmannschaft/spieler/40204) occasions, where he kept 45 clean sheets and was highly successful when he played for [Manchester City](https://www.transfermarkt.com/joe-hart/erfolge/spieler/40204), winning two Premier League titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup also.

After such a successful career, Haggerty is there wasn’t more interest in Hart, telling Transfer Tavern: *“He did it to the best level possible, he’s England number one international goalkeeper and he played for Manchester City during a time when they were highly successful. You cannot doubt his ability and I’m very surprised.”*

With new manager Ange Postecoglou at the helm and the new signings that he has made, Celtic will be hoping for a successful campaign and that they can add some silverware to the trophy cabinet at the end of the season.
