Ben Arfa update – Marseille agree terms?
Posted on August 9th, 2010 | 157 Comments |
Just a quick update on the Ben Arfa saga, which finally appears to be drawing to a close, at last.
Sky Sports News have reported that Marseille have accepted a fee of around £1 million from Newcastle to take the 23-year old Frenchman on loan for the season.
It is understood that the deal includes an option to buy at the end of the deal, which hopefully means that future payments will be set out in advance should the player impress and Newcastle wish to make the move permanent.
Nothing is concrete yet and terms still have to be agreed, but hopefully we can conclude the deal and land a player that is highly rated throughout Europe.

Sweet – had a feeling we might get him a while back from CH’s now trademark coyness ;)
