Newcastle star Hatem Ben Arfa set for summer exit?

Newcastle midfield sensation Hatem Ben Arfa could be set to leave Newcastle United in the summer, according to the Daily Star.

The report claims that manager Alan Pardew is ready to sell the talented Frenchman at the end of the season, having dropped him for the midweek defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at home, due to a heated exchange of words in the dressing room.

Ben Arfa, who joined the Magpies from Marseille four seasons ago, attracted interest from Inter Milan during the winter transfer window.

Newcastle are currently placed 9th in the Premier League.
