Midfielder Ben Arfa bids farewell to PSG
Paris, March 29 (IANS) Paris Saint Germain’s attacking midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa on Thursday said that he would leave the French football club next June at the end of his contract.
The 31-year-old, who has not played in any official match this season, joined the club in 2016 with the help of PSG’s president Nasser al-Khelaifi, reports Efe.
“Soon my PSG adventure will come to an end. Despite the difficult times, I am happy to have worn this shirt. I will keep the wonderful memories of my teammates and with this message, I would like to take the opportunity to thank the many who have supported me,” Ben Arfa wrote on his official Instagram account.
PSG coach Unai Emery made Ben Arfa play only during the latter’s first season, where he participated in 23 matches of Ligue 1, and appeared three times in both the French Cup and UEFA Champions League.
Since the arrival of the Brazilian forward Neymar Jr., Ben Arfa fell out of favour with Emery.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
