Hatem Ben Arfa admits Newcastle United are in a relegation battle.

Ben Arfa insists his main focus for now is on ensuring Newcastle do not go down.

"I am under contract with Newcastle and I'm fine," he said.

"First, I must save my club. I only think of that. I will help my team and my coach (manager Alan Pardew), with whom I get along great.

"We really want to fight for him. The fans are great too."
