Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa was reportedly spotted wearing a Paris Saint-Germain kit while at a local gym.

The 26-year-old was seen by fans at the Tyneside health club chatting with a couple of French friends sporting the colours of his hometown club.

"Ben Arfa was laughing and joking with two French pals in the weights room," an onlooker told The Sun. "He didn't seem to have a care in the world."

The Frenchman was seen at the gym two days after the Magpies suffered a 6-0 defeat to Liverpool.
