Ben Arfa convinced by Hull's buying spree

Hull City signing Hatem Ben Arfa is excited by the club's ambition.

Ben Arfa has joined the Tigers on a season-long loan.

"Monday was a long day but I am very happy to be here," he said.

"When I woke up on Monday morning, there was nothing on the cards. Then, in the afternoon the call came and everything happened very quickly after that. At 1am everything was complete and I was very happy.

"I'm very much looking forward to the start of a new challenge. The manager wants me here and that is very important. I'm looking forward to being back on the pitch after two months of only training."

"The manager has made a lot of very good signings. There were many good players already here and then more have arrived this week. There is a very good squad here and I think the team can do something great for this city."
