Former Newcastle United fullback Didier Domi says Hatem Ben Arfa will regret leaving.
Ben Arfa is expected to be sold this summer after falling out with manager Alan Pardew.
Domi told the Evening Chronicle: "I know he likes the place and likes everything, so he will regret it if he goes.
"Maybe not if he goes to Manchester United, or a better club on the pitch, but he won't play in front of better fans.
"If he goes to a smaller team, he will regret it.
"Does he want to go from playing in front of 52,000 people to just a few thousand?"
