Dnipro open Newcastle talks for Ben Arfa

Dnipro are making a move for Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa.

The Journal says Dnipro have made an enquiry about the Frenchman and a deal could be concluded soon if all parties can agree terms.

Ben Arfa's name was once again absent from last night's friendly match at Sheffield Wednesday, where Alan Pardew fielded a young side with only a smattering of more familiar faces.

And while the 27-year-old remains a big favourite with many Newcastle fans, it has been clear for weeks now that his time at the club was over.
