Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has failed to find space at the French champions since his surprise summer move from Nice. Turkish journal Fotomaç claims that the 29-year-old is now a very real January target for Istanbul giants Fenerbahçe. The club’s secretary general Mahmut Uslu has expressed a strong desire to bring the Frenchman to Turkey explaining that; “We already had a strong interest in the player in the summer and now we believe once again that we can bring him here”.
 

With Dutch striker Robin van Persie seemingly on his way to China to join Hebei Fortune, Fenerbahçe now consider this a real chance to finally get their hands on the player who has made only three appearances for the French champions and has yet to get on the scoresheet. Many eyebrows were raised when Ben Arfa arrived in the capital on a last-minute free-transfer in August but his stay looks to be coming to an abrupt end.
