Leicester City are looking at the possibility of signing former Newcastle and Hull City winger, Hateem Ben Arfa.
The PSG player has been marginalised at the French club since the big money arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, and currently trains with the club’s reserve.
The 30 years old has been in dispute with the French club since he was taken out of the first team picture, and looks set to leave either temporarily or permanently.
Leicester City’s manager Claude Puel was Ben Arfa’s manager when the winger enjoyed a mini revival at Nice, and he is said to have got on well with the attacker who became linked with the likes of Barcelona after his single strong season at the French club.
Leicester City are looking for a replacement for Islam Slimani as the Algerian is reportedly unsettled at the former Premier League champions, and has informed them that he wants to leave.
West Ham United are also interested in Ben Arfa as they are still looking to fill the void left by the departure of Dimitri Payet last January.
Ben Arfa is on a large salary at PSG and may have to take a pay cut to complete a permanent switch to the premier League.
Ben Arfa also had an up and down time at Newcastle and left the club unceremoniously.
