Following an altercation with his coach, Ben Arfa has reportedly provoked another confrontation after Newcastle’s recent defeat to Stoke City. According to reports from the Mirror, both manager Alan Pardew and some of the players criticized Ben Arfa for his attitude and lack of commitment during the match. This criticism led to a heated exchange between Ben Arfa and others in the locker room.
Ben Arfa’s performance on the pitch has also been disappointing this season, contributing to Newcastle’s decision to place him on the transfer list for the upcoming offseason. With only three goals in 26 Premier League matches, his collective contribution has been below expectations.
Given the strained relationship between Ben Arfa and Newcastle, it seems likely that he will depart the club in the near future. Inter Milan, who showed interest in him during the January transfer window, is reportedly still monitoring the situation and could be a potential destination for the 27-year-old French international.
As Ben Arfa’s time at Newcastle comes to an end, fans await further developments regarding his future destination and the resolution of his ongoing issues with the club.
