Paris Saint-Germain close in on winger deal: Southampton and Leicester also in talks
SOUTHAMPTON target Hatem Ben Arfa is set to join Paris Saint-Germain, according to reports in France.
Hatem Ben Arfa has been capped 15 times by France, scoring twice, since making his debut in 2007
The 29-year-old winger enjoyed a stellar season with Ligue 1 side Nice, netting 17 goals and providing six assists in 34 appearances.
And his renaissance prompted the attention of a host of Europe's top clubs.
However, French outlet RMC Sport claims the former Newcastle ace will snub a return to the Premier League in favour of a move to PSG.
Unai Emery yesterday took charge at the Parc des Princes following Laurent Blanc's sacking and Ben Arfa could be his first signing for the Champions League quarter-finalists.
