WEST HAM are continuing to make moves in the transfer window and are now reportedly eyeing up PSG outcast Hatem Ben Arfa.

The French winger may be a free agent, but his natural talent is attracting interest from across to globe so West Ham may have to move quickly.

The Hammers are looking to snap up another bargain this summer, after they secured Jack Wilshere  when his contract with Arsenal wasn't renewed.

And their latest target won't find the Premier League totally alien to them either.

The 31-year-old attacking midfielder spent several seasons in the Premier League with Newcastle.

He was first sent on loan from Marseille to the Toon in 2010, before the Magpies brought him in 2011.

But it is also not the first time he has been without a club.

When he left Newcastle in January 2015, he was without a club until he joined Nice later that summer.

Arfa's time with Paris Saint-Germain didn't quite go to plan and he was let go after not making a single appearance last season.

Taking it in his stride, he 'celebrated' the anniversary of his last game for the Ligue 1 champions earlier this year.

But he's a player that would bring plenty of experience to West Ham's side and is one of the most sought after free agents in the world.

The Hammers have invested heavily in their squad this summer, after a disappointing season lead to fans running riot at fixtures.

And a player with international experience would be a welcome addition.

Arfa was afforded a spot in France's Euro 2016 team, after a successful season with Nice and believed he was completing a dream transfer to his boyhood club, PSG.
