The French sports newspaper "L'Equipe" announces that the forward of "Nice" Hatem Ben Arfa will most likely end up at "Barcelona" club in the summer.
Earlier, the Catalans were looking at other French players Kevin Gameiro from "Sevilla" and the attacking leader of "Lyon" Alexandre Lacazette, but now their main target is the 29-year-old footballer.
Ben Arfa is currently having a great season and experiencing a true career renaissance. In 32 "Ligue 1" matches, he scored 17 goals, made five assists, and often led his team to victory.
Therefore, it is almost certain that "Nice", holding the fifth place in the French league, will not be able to keep him.
Another factor is that Ben Arfa can leave his current team without any transfer fee as his contract is expiring. This is another reason why "Barca" is very eager to sign this player.
