Chelsea & Liverpool are both chasing a top French playmaker with EPL experience

According to leading French daily L’Equipe, Nice playmaker Hatem Ben Arfa is once again on the viewfinder of some of the Premier League’s top clubs.

Ben Arfa has been a revelation at Nice this season, as he’s rediscovered some of his best form in years.

Formerly on the books of Newcastle and Hull, Ben Arfa has been one of the stars of Ligue 1 this season. The 29-year-old has 16 goals in 30 appearances, helping Nice to fourth in the table – two points off Lyon in the Champions League qualifying spot.

Ben Arfa is a free agent this summer, and L’Equipe claim he’s received formal contract offers from Atletico Madrid, Liverpool and AC Milan, while Chelsea are now are considering a move for the midfielder.

Whether Liverpool or Chelsea will actually land Ben Arfa, though, is questionable.

While his form this season has been undeniably incredible, his attitude displayed in England during his previous Premier League stints have left many questioning whether he’s cut out for the EPL.

Approaching the twilight of his career, one suspects that Ben Arfa will pick the club who present him with the most compelling financial package.
