Atletico Madrid are eyeing a shock swoop for Nice star Hatem Ben Arfa.

The 29-year-old's contract with Ligue 1 side Nice runs out in June and his rebirth on the French Riviera has attracted a lot of attention across Europe.

AS says while Atlético have been quick to express an interest in the Frenchman's services, they are by no means the only club hoping to sign the ex-Newcastle United midfielder.

Juventus, AC Milan, Galatasaray, Besiktas and a number of Premier League teams are also keen to strike a deal with the Parisian.
