Newcastle manager Alan Pardrew placed his bets on French players following Yohan Cabaye’s departure to PSG. However, the results have been disappointing. None of them, including Hatem Ben Arfa, have capitalized on this opportunity to establish themselves as leaders within the team, which has struggled in recent matches.
Ben Arfa, in particular, has failed to impress in the black and white jersey, leading to speculation that he may not have a future at Newcastle next season. Reports suggest that the club’s management is considering selling him this summer. Potential destinations for the French midfielder include PSG, Inter Milan, and Besiktas.
According to the Turkish daily Fotomaç, Besiktas is interested in signing Ben Arfa for the upcoming season.
