Former Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa is set to extend his career in Tunisia.

The France international spent five seasons on Tyneside before leaving in 2015.

The winger is a free agent after leaving Bordeaux during the summer and leading Tunisian club Esperance de Tunis has now held talks with the ex-Toon star about a two-year contract.

Ben Arfa, 34, was born in the Paris suburb Clamart - however his father Kamel is a former Tunisia international.

The winger has revealed he supported Esperance as a kid.
