DONE DEAL: Hull City secure Newcastle's Ben Arfa

Hull City have signed Hatem Ben Arfa on loan from Newcastle United.

The 27-year old French playmaker has signed a season-long loan with the Tigers after falling out of favour at St James' Park recently.

The supremely talented Ben Arfa had moments of magic during his time with the Magpies but could not bring consistent form to Alan Pardew's line-up and will now spend the 2014/15 campaign at the KC Stadium.

"Hatem is a superb addition to the squad, and brings a lot of attacking flare," said manager Steve Bruce.

| "We look forward to welcoming him to the Club."
