Newcastle target Hatem Ben Arfa attempts to force through move
Table of Contents
Hatem Ben Arfa has declared his Olympique Marseille career all but over as he attempts to force through a move, with Newcastle United eager to snap up the French international.
The 23-year-old has refused to train with the team this season as he eyes a move away from Stade Vélodrome, despite having played 34 minutes of the opening Ligue 1 against Caen.
"I will not return to La Commanderie (Marseille's training ground). It's over," Ben Arfa told L'Équipe.
"I am ready to not play this season. I have my pride, my dignity. I am not a make-weight.
"I am not just a sack of dirty washing or a piece of shit. I will do what it takes and I will organise myself to train physically.
"Over time, people will see that I was right. Just because we are paid does not mean we are slaves."
