Hatem Ben Arfa coy on Newcastle United future

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2013/12/25/4502656/ben-arfa-rules-out-newcastle-exit-in-january?ICID=HP_FA_5

Newcastle United's Hatem Ben Arfa has hinted that he could leave the club in the January transfer window.

The winger has been on the periphery of the Magpies' first team in recent weeks and he was coy on his future plans when asked by L'Equipe.

The Frenchman said: "The team is doing well and it is normal that the manager maintains that confidence in the team in place. Although when you're a competitor, you want to be on the pitch.

"I give everything always, even if I am asked to play 10, 15 minutes. A departure from Newcastle? The question does not arise today. I do not think about it. I'm at Newcastle and I feel good. We'll see."

Ben Arfa was recalled to the side that beat Stoke City 5-1 win on Boxing Day.
