Hatem Ben Arfa's agent has described reports that the Newcastle United winger could be preparing to make a move to Qatar as "false".
The 27-year-old was linked with a big money move to Qatari club Lekhwiya at the weekend, having failed to secure a regular place in the Magpies' first team last season.
However, Michael Ouazine told L'Equipe: "This is false. He has one year left on his Newcastle contract and intends to continue to play in Europe."
Ben Arfa joined the club from Ligue 1 side Marseille in 2010.
