Hatem Ben Arfa Set to Return Early from Hull City Loan to Newcastle
Hatem Ben Arfa’s quest to secure regular first-team football continues amid reports that the French international could cut short his loan spell at Hull City and return to Newcastle United.
The former Olympique de Marseille midfielder was loaned to Hull City for six months during the summer transfer window, seeking playing time away from Newcastle. However, tensions with Newcastle manager Alan Pardew led to his initial departure, and now sources suggest Ben Arfa’s return to the club may come sooner than anticipated.
According to The Sun, as Pardew’s position at Newcastle becomes increasingly uncertain, the possibility of Ben Arfa’s loan being cancelled is growing. This would allow the player to rejoin the squad and attempt to re-establish himself.
Whether this development is a genuine shift or mere speculation remains to be seen, but Ben Arfa faces a challenging road ahead if he hopes to succeed under Pardew’s management.
