Bayern Munich are keeping close tabs on Liverpool and Chelsea target Hatem Ben Arfa, according to German magazine Kicker.

The Nice attacking midfielder has been in fine form in the present campaign, scoring 18 goals and providing five assists in 34 appearances in all competitions.




Ben Arfa, whose present contract with Nice is set to expire in the summer, has been heavily linked with a move away from the club after the end of the present campaign, with Liverpool, Chelsea and AC Milan all interested in snapping him up.

But now it seems German champions Bayern Munich have also entered the race to sign the talented Frenchman.
 


Bavarians sporting director Michael Reschke was present in person to watch Ben Arfa in action against Reims last weekend; Nice won the match 2-0, with the 29-year-old scoring once and providing an assist in the Ligue 1 game.
