Ben Arfa in Valladolid to sign for Ronaldo's team

Hatem Ben Arfa is one step away from being the big hit of the end of the market in the Spanish League. At least, as far as modest teams are concerned. The French star landed in Valladolid to pass the medical examination and could be announced soon as a new signing of Ronaldo's team.

According to 'Marca', the footballer was caught when he was close to passing the relevant physical tests and his arrival could be announced in a matter of hours.

This is a player of enormous quality, although he has been stopped in recent months and has had several controversial episodes outside the sport in recent years.

During Unai Emery's time at PSG in the 2017-18 season, the player was sidelined due to disputes with the Spanish coach. Before that, he had arrived at the Parc des Princes after a redeeming campaign at Nice, where he scored 18 goals and provided five assists.

After his year off at PSG, he played last season at Rennes, scoring nine goals and providing six assists. Those numbers bear out the fact that the player could still have a lot to offer if he focuses.

Prior to these finals chapters of his sporting life, Ben Arfa had made a name for himself at Lyon, from whose youth academy he emerged, and had had the opportunity to showcase his talents at Marseille and Newcastle. He returned to France through the back door after failing to achieve anything at Hull City in the 2014-15 campaign.

He will arrive at Ronaldo's Valladolid after the Spanish team let go Anuar, Barba, Luismi, Jorge de Frutos, Lunin and Aguado. A risky bet for Ronaldo's team.
