Ben Arfa fit and ready for Hull action: I want to repay Bruce

Hatem Ben Arfa says he's fit and ready to fire for Hull City.

Hull face Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday.

On-loan Newcastle United midfielder Ben Arfa said: "My fitness levels have improved an awful lot since I first arrived at this club.

"They have got better with each training session. I have worked specifically on sessions to improve my fitness.

"That has worked and I'm now at a level where I want to be so that I can make an impact on the team. I am ready to show how I can play."

He added: "It's important for any player, at every level of the game, that his manager wants him. Steve Bruce wants me and that makes me happy."
