Loads of Newcastle fans have been discussing some potential free signings, and more than a few fans are eyeing a move for Hatem Ben Arfa.

The Chronicle have written a piece detailing several free agents that are available for Newcastle to sign, and loads of fans are eying up Ben Arfa.

The talented but frustrating Frenchman is available on a free signing after opting not to renew his contract with PSG.

Everyone knows Ben Arfa had his fair share of problems during his stint on Tyneside, but he also possesses elite match-wining ability, something the current Magpies’ squad is sorely lacking.

The 31-year-old was awful when he left Tyneside on loan to Hull, but his switch to Ligue 1 side Nice in 2016 completely revived his career.

After scoring 17 league goals in 34 appearances for Nice, he made the jump to PSG, where he made 23 league appearances during his first season.

Last season quickly went downhill though, and the former fan favourite is now searching for a new home.

He’s not exactly tailor-made for Rafael Benitez, but if the Spaniard could get him working hard enough to match his talent then it could be a match made in heaven.
