Hatem Ben Arfa (34), free of any contract since leaving Bordeaux last summer, has been training since Monday January 17 in Lille, which hopes to recruit him quickly, northern coach Jocelyn Gourvennec revealed on Tuesday. The arrival of the French attacking midfielder at Losc depends on the loan of Turkish Yusuf Yazici to CSKA Moscow. Lille president Olivier Létang said on Saturday that the northern club was in contact with Ben Arfa and was considering recruiting him. Ben Harfa has not played since May 2 but has trained with a physical trainer since leaving the Girondins, could start with the Dogues in the clash against Paris SG, one of his former clubs, on Sunday February 6. If he signs in Lille, Ben Arfa (15 selections for the France team) will thus know his tenth professional club, the sixth in Ligue 1, a championship where he started at only 17 years old, in 2004, under the orders of Paul Le Gen in Lyons.
