Report: Newcastle United's Hatem Ben Arfa linked with switch to Everton

Everton are reportedly considering a move for Newcastle United winger Hatem Ben Arfa.

The winger's days at St James' Park seem to be numbered after Newcastle manager Alan Pardew questioned the player's commitment last season.

According to the Shields Gazette, Ben Arfa has emerged as a possible option for Everton boss Roberto Martinez, who has revealed that he is searching for a new winger in the transfer market.

The Frenchman has been training away from the first team this summer after falling out of favour.
