Ben Arfa set for Newcastle exit

Sunday People understands that Newcastle are set to offload winger Hatem Ben Arfa following his latest incident.

The highly rated footballer was suspended by the club and sent home to France after clashing with manager Alan Pardew, which is enough to suggest his career at St James’ Park is drawing to a close.

The Frenchman has been a detrimental effect on the dressing room atmosphere for quite a while and the Magpies are no longer prepared to tolerate his unprofessional behaviour.

According to Sunday People, Roma are ready to offer the midfielder an escape route from England as the Giallorossi are keen on his services.

Hatem Ben Arfa joined Newcastle from Marseille in the summer of 2010 and quickly developed into a key player at St James’ Park.

The 27-year-old went on to make 76 Premier League appearances for the Magpies, scoring 13 goals in the process. Ben Arfa currently has 13 France caps to his name.
