Reigning Italian champions Juventus are poised to make a move for Newcastle United's French international Hatem Ben Arfa, according to reports.
The 27-year-old has been on loan with Hull City this season, but Tigers boss Steve Bruce recently said that Ben Arfa had played his last game for the club after the midfielder reportedly went absent without leave.
However, Juventus are now ready to offer Ben Arfa a lifeline with a move to Serie A, Gazzetta dello Sport claims.
Ben Arfa joined Newcastle in 2010 and has scored 13 goals in 76 appearances for the Magpies.
