Hatem
Ben Arfa is set to depart Newcastle United after Nice announced a deal
had been agreed in principle to bring him back to France.
The
forward has been left in limbo after the failure of a loan spell with
Hull, with the Tigers manager Steve Bruce cutting short his stay at the
KC Stadium but Newcastle unwilling to reintegrate him into their squad.
However,
he has been offered a lifeline after a Nice statement announced: “OGC
Nice have reached an agreement in principle with Hatem Ben Arfa. The
France international will have a medical on Monday prior to signing with
Le Gym.”
According to the French club, Ben Arfa – who is still
to complete a medical – has been persuaded to join after discussions
with the coach Claude Puel and by the club’s ambitions.
