Besiktas, Lyon join race for Hatem Ben Arfa

French media outlet Le 10 Sport has learned that Besiktas and Lyon are the latest two clubs to have shown interest in Nice hotshot Hatem Ben Arfa.

After successfully getting his career back on track, the winger has become a target for quite a few top clubs, with Paris Saint-Germain believed to be in pole position.

Ben Arfa has yet to make a decision on his future as he is very grateful to everyone at Nice for helping him during a very difficult period of his career, but a summer exit is a realistic possibility.

According to Le 10 Sport, Turkish giants Besiktas have presented a mega money offer to the player’s representatives, hoping to lure the 29-year-old to Istanbul.

The same source has suggested that former club Lyon are keen as well, and everything suggests we could see a genuine bidding war for his services at the end of the season.
