http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hatem-Ben-Arfa-c15884 may have taken time in settling in at Tyneside, but has established himself as the star of the Newcastle United squad and has been in fantastic form ever since.
The French youngster arrived from Ligue One club Marseille on a season long loan move, which among considerable doubts and uncertainty, finally materialized on 27th August 2010. The player scored on his first full debut for the club, but suffered
a horrible injury on his leg which kept him out of the team for almost 10 months.
During his injury, Newcastle and Marseille had agreed a permanent transfer for the player, and he signed a four year contract. Ben Arfa worked on his rehabilitation and returned to full training on April 5 2011. Manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew however did not want to
rush the player back into the side, and Ben Arfa hardly made any appearances in the 2010/2011 season.
The player then worked on his fitness during the summer and made his comeback in Newcastle's pre-season tour. Last season, Ben Arfa was the one who stood out amongst an impressive Newcastle line up. The player established himself in the first team set up,
restricting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Obertan-c14324 to the bench.
The midfielder managed 26 league appearances and grabbed 5 goals and 7 assists. His comeback to the team was highly impressive, and Ben Arfa quickly became one of the top attacking threats in the Premier League.
Ben Arfa’s performances for Newcastle led to his selection in the French national team for the Euro 2012 tournament. The player has been capped 13 times for the national squad and has two goals to his name.
This season, the French starlet has again been nothing short of impressive, and just scored an absolute screamer of a goal against Aston Villa last weekend in a 1-1 score line.
His teammates are well aware of his importance to the squad and his rise in stature. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yohan-Cabaye-c37423 praised the young starlet and said:
“When the defences are hard, every time he is the best player to make the difference for us. Against Aston Villa it was him and even against Tottenham, he won the penalty to win us the game. He is the man of the moment and I’m very happy that we have him
in the squad.”
