Potential destination: Southampton

Paris-Saint Germain are having a mixed season this time out. Their domestic monopoly looks in danger with the rise of Monaco and Nice but in the Champions League, they have stunned everyone by thrashing Barcelona in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.

PSG have an exceptionally big squad this season and due to that, some of their star players have struggled to get playing time. Ben Arfa’s career has always been an up and down one but after his excellent last season at Nice where he revived his career, bigger things were expected from the wing wizard at Parc des Princes but he hardly got opportunities.

The former Newcastle man has shown the world that he is an extremely talented player but has not managed to prove it on a regular basis. The 29-year-old should leave PSG in the summer and could try his luck once again in the Premier League,

Ben Arfa owes a lot to current Southampton manager Claude Puel who believed in him when he was released by Newcastle United when he was the manager of Nice. A reunion with the French manager at the south coast of England might be a good decision for the Frenchman’s career.
