Newcastle United management are actively discussing the future of Hatem Ben Arfa.
The Journal says Toon are considering their next move with Ben Arfa after failing to receive any enquiry despite circulating his name all summer.
Ben Arfa has been available for a cut-price fee and Newcastle would have listened to all reasonable offers, but they have struggled to generate any interest.
With the player in no rush to jeopardise a considerable contract by seeking his own way out, manager Alan Pardew must now find a way of integrating the forward into his squad.
