Newcastle want Hatem Ben Arfa to sign a new contract - to
keep him away from Liverpool's clutches.
Toon boss Alan Pardew has been sounded out by Kop chief
Brendan Rodgers about his French star, but does not want to do business.
Now Ben Arfa, who is coming back from a lengthy injury
lay-off, is due to sort out new terms to bump up his salary and tie him down
for his peak years.
The 25-year-old has been a stand-out for the Geordies when
fit and his problems this season have come at the same time as the club's slide
down the table.
Pardew wants to keep Ben Arfa sweet after signing so many of
his fellow countrymen, some on big pay days, so an extension is on the cards.
Rodgers has been looking at the midfielder as an Anfield
target but the fee would be a problem.
And with so many similar players in his squad it would be a
luxury capture.
