Alan Pardew to hold talks with Hatem Ben Arfa

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has revealed that he will sit down with midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa when he returns for pre-season training to discuss his fall-out from the France team at Euro 2012.

The 25-year-old is amid disciplinary proceedings from the French Football Association following a dressing room bust-up after France's 2-0 defeat to Sweden in the group phase of the European Championships.

"I haven't really studied what went on with France at the Euros and I won't get the real version until I speak to Hatem," said Pardew.

"He doesn't come back until a lot later in pre-season because he and Yohan Cabaye need some rest. Certainly I will have a conversation with him because I want him to pick up where he left off for us, which was in a good place."

Samir Nasri, Jeremy Menez and Yann M'Vila are also under investigation by the French governing body.
