Former Newcastle United fan favourite Hatem Ben Arfa could retired, according to reports in France. The 35-year-old has been a free agent since leaving Lille earlier this summer.
The French international is no stranger to controversy and had a bust up with Jocelyn Gourvennec following a 0-0 draw with Bordeaux last season. Throughout his career, the Frenchman has been relatively outspoken.
However, Media Foot Marseille, claims there’s chance the winger could retire. Ben Arfa has ‘disappeared from the radar during the summer transfer window’. The report claims the former Lyon and Marseille midfielder has demands that are 'too high' for respective clubs.
