Ex-Newcastle wing wizard Hatem Ben Arfa will be without a club this summer, so should the Magpies give him another chance?

With all due respect to the current Newcastle side, the Magpies haven’t had many players in recent times with as much raw talent as Hatem Ben Arfa.

The skilful Frenchman scored some truly incredible goals during his stay on Tyneside, and with his PSG contract set to run out at the end of June, he will officially be on the market for free this summer.

The 31 year-old had his fair share of attitude problems, but in terms of natural ability there were and are very few better.

Ben Arfa left Newcastle in 2015, and 18 months later every club in Europe was chasing him after an incredible season for French side Nice, which saw him grab 17 goals in 34 Ligue 1 games. He eventually joined PSG in the summer of 2016, where his two year deal has been a bit of a disaster.

With two goals in 15 France caps, how many players of Ben Arfa’s ability are available for free this summer?

Rafael Benitez is a master at drilling tactics and discipline into unruly players, and he could be one of the few managers in world football that could get Ben Arfa back to his best.
