There's a Spurs site on newsnow saying that Ben Arfa is joining. I decided to look abit further so I found these two french websites, using the translator this is what they say...

The offensive medium Hatem Ben Arfa, could leave Lyon for Tottenham, indicated Jean-Michel Aulas. "I saw the leaders of Tottenham who make the forcing to engage Hatem. It is necessary that we discuss it ". International the hopes is 19 years old, it remains to him one year of contract.

and...

Jean-Michel Aulas confirmed Thursday evening that two players of its medium of provided ground were probably going to leave the club: Hatem Ben Arfa, under contract with Lyon for one year, would be very close to signing for Tottenham, while Benoît Pedretti should be lent to the AJ Auxerre. "I saw the leaders of Tottenham who" make the forcing "to engage Hatem. Is needed that we discusses it this evening (Thursday)", explained the president of the OL on Internet site of the club. As for Pedretti, considering "its exemplary behavior", "we will facilitate its wishes. Auxerre is a rich club. That would thus astonish me that it does not manage to give satisfaction to Benoît and to the Olympic Lyonese ".

It's actually the same thing and ignore the Pedretti bit of course but this may be very interesting next few days.

I have heard good things about him, although I am unsure of his best position, he plays left wing, attacking midfield and just behind the striker.

There's also a rumour about us bidding for Baptista.

I had a sneaky feeling something could here for a long time regarding Ben Arfa. I think it's common knowledge that Commoli has been after him for some time now, but we'll have to wait and see

ben arfa scored in the peace cup final. penalty, granted, but i remember him coming on as a sub and really impressing with pace and some trickery.

i don't know if ben arfa is fit tho, he was injured recently, as he quite often is, but it does atleast sound like they're willing to let him go now. he's a bit like giggs in playing style. worth a shot.

The wikipedia encyclopedia seems to think spurs will complete the move for hatem ben arfa today as rumours were circulating last night when i was tucked up in bed. I really hope we sign him as at least we would play a natural left winger even though i dont know how good he really his. Anythings better than davids on the left!

My only worry is he's too frail for the EPL.
