Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has told the french media that he has never been so settled at a club, than he is at Newcastle, and that he would only leave if the interested club's coach filled him with 100% confidence. But at that stage he would consider it.
He told L'Equipe;
“I’ve never felt as settled at a club as I do at Newcastle. I feel like I’m somebody important there, it’s a magnificent feeling.
I haven’t forgotten the coach made me sign, even though I was only on loan from Marseille and I was injured.
If I do not have a really, really serious proposal, I’ll stay. If a big club comes, but does not propose something interesting – that is to say, the coach really wants me – I’ll stay.
If I do not feel the confidence of the coach 100 per cent, I will not leave. Newcastle is a big club, even if there are bigger. I still have a three-year contract.”
