It was in the air, it’s now official: Hatem Ben Arfa (34) has signed up with LOSC. The left-hander, free since the end of his adventure with the Girondins de Bordeaux, has signed until the end of the season with the Dogues and, as he explained to the media of his new team, he has a smile.
“I am very happy to join LOSC today. It’s a team that has shown a lot of great things this season, and obviously last year with a title of Champion of France. I am happy to sign in this club which continues to rise. I have faced LOSC several times in my career, in different stadiums, and it will be a great pleasure for me to wear the Lille jersey at the Stade Pierre Mauroy. I know that many great players have passed through here. It is an honor for me to be able to take up this challenge, with the desire above all to help the group and the club achieve their objectives. I feel very good and I can’t wait to get back to competition.”, he blurted out.
