Fiorentina open talks for Hatem Ben Arfa

Serie A side Fiorentina have opened talks to sign free-agent Hatem Ben Arfa.

Ben Arfa last played for Stade Rennes in France, where he won the domestic cup by beating Paris Saint-Germain in the final. Before Rennes, he was at PSG too but could never make an impact. The Frenchman impressed during his stint at Newcastle United.

Sky Italia claim that Fiorentina have held talks for Ben Arfa on deadline day and see him as a potential sigining, along with Leicester winger Rachid Ghezzal. Remi Oudin is close to signing, but one of these two could be on his way too.
