Daily Star is reporting that Newcastle are prepared to cash in on star player Hatem Ben Arfa in the summer transfer window.
Despite enjoying a bright start to his career at St James’ Park, the Frenchman has lost his place in the side following some under-par performances.
And it appears that boss Alan Pardew is no longer prepared to tolerate his inconsistent displays as he reportedly wants to sell him to the highest bidder at the end of the season.
The good news is Ben Arfa is still held in high regard by top European clubs, with Inter and Marseille reportedly leading the chase.
The 26-year-old joined Newcastle from Marseille in the summer of 2010 and has since bagged 13 goals in 71 Premier League appearances for the Magpies.
Newcastle have seen their European hopes go up in smoke following the 4-0 defeat to Tottenham, but Alan Pardew’s charges are 23/20 to return to winning ways against Aston Villa.
