Former Newcastle star makes shock claim: I have 18 offers (Liverpool thought to be one)

The Nice winger has enjoyed a stellar Ligue 1 campaign, netting 17 goals and providing six assists in 34 appearances.

And his sensational form has seen him linked with a host of Europe's top clubs, including Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.

A subsequent move to current side Nice took a hit too when FIFA rules prevented him from turning out for more than two clubs in a season.

But Ben Arfa's career has undergone a renaissance in the south of France, leading to rumours Jurgen Klopp is readying a bid to bring him back to England.
