Leicester City target Hatem Ben Arfa is set to prefer staying at Paris Saint-Germain until the end of the season before leaving the club on a free transfer.

The former Newcastle United winger has not kicked a ball at PSG this season and has been in talks with the club to terminate his contract, which would allow him to leave for free this month.




However, an agreement is yet to be reached and Ben Arfa is still waiting to hear from the PSG hierarchy about his possible status at the club as he has generated interest from several clubs in Europe.

Russian outfit Lokomotiv Moscow and Premier League side Leicester are reportedly interested in signing the Frenchman, but the transfer saga has taken a turn.
 


And according to French daily Le Parisien, the winger is currently preferring continuing at PSG until the end of the season, when his contract with the club expires.
