Ben Arfa could leave PSG

French winger Hatem Ben Arfa could be leaving Paris Saint-Germain mere six months after joining the club from Nice, Le 10 Sport has suggested.

The highly rated footballer received a plethora of offers last summer as his contract with les Aiglons came to an end, and despite virtually signing a deal with Sevilla, he ended up joining the Saints.

Ben Arfa enjoyed a good start to his career at Parc des Princes, starring in the 4-1 triumph over Lyon in French Super Cup, but his form has since dropped a great deal.

The midfielder has struggled for form of late and was then left out of the squad for the Champions League tie against Arsenal, which sparked speculations that he could leave in the winter.

And while coach Unai Emery wants Ben Arfa to work hard in an attempt to reclaim his place, the 29-year-old is not exactly model professional and there is a good chance he will request a January move.
