Nice completes signing of Hatem Ben Arfa
Hatem Ben Arfa is home.
French side Nice completed the signing of the polarizing attacking midfielder on Monday, introducing him in an impressive ceremony that was accompanied by quite the fanfare - considering Ben Arfa's status as an exciting, but not consistently impressive player throughout his career.
After being so unhappy during his recent loan spell at Hull City - which was terminated before his parent club, Newcastle, did the same to his contract - the Frenchman looked quite pleased to be back in his home country:

He even took time to speak with fans and snap a few selfies with those who showed up to welcome him to the club:
