West Ham made an attempt to bring Hatem Ben Arfa back to England over the summer, it has been revealed.

Telefoot says West Ham were turned down by Ben Arfa in the summer, as the French midfielder chose to join Rennes instead.

The former PSG man also turned down moves to Portugal and China.

After spells with Newcastle United and Hull City, Ben Arfa rebuilt his career at Nice before making the move to PSG.

And he was allowed to come off contract at the Parisians this summer ahead of signing for Rennes.
