Liverpool are very keen on snapping up Hatem Ben Arfa from Newcastle United this summer.
The Merseyside giants have shown interest in the French attacking midfielder before, with an approach of sorts coming seven months ago.
Now, according to French sports daily L’Equipe, Liverpool have, in the last few days, once again shown interest in the former Marseille man and are eyeing tempting him to Anfield.
How successful the Reds will be in their pursuit remains to be seen, with Ben Arfa under contract at Newcastle until 2015 and the Magpies looking to keep hold of their creative outlet.

Liverpool may be encouraged by comments from the 26-year-old in January this year though, when they were directly mentioned as a possible future destination.
Ben Arfa has been looking for Newcastle to show signs of serious ambition and, despite their January spending spree, it is not yet clear whether he has been entirely convinced.
A number of other clubs are keeping tabs on Ben Arfa’s situation, with the France international highly rated throughout the Premier League and back in his homeland.
