Liverpool monitoring Hatem Ben Arfa
Liverpool have made a second formal enquiry for Newcastle United Midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, according to the L'equipe. The Reds manager Brendan Rodgers has alot of admiration over the talented 26-year-old and is now willing to entice the Magpies in letting their French star make a switch away from St.James Park.
Liverpool were interested in the player earlier this summer but their interest dropped off as they tried to make Henrikh Mkhitaryan their first priority. The Armenian International's decision to join Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund has left the Reds boss still searching for a new playmaker.
Rodgers, who already has Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto in his attacking department has now made a second approach for the French International Ben Arfa who had an injury prone stint last season featuring in just 16 matches for the Magpies.
