PSG moved to sign him the following season and he won the Ligue 1 and French Cup. But he's been squeezed out this summer following the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.

PSG are understood to be willing to let him leave on a free transfer and that has alerted a number of Premier League sides who are willing to gamble on Ben Arfa's talent.
