I'm NOT a gunners fan but I do enjoy watching France. I think a move to Arsenal would really improve his status as a rising star in France and would boost his career. Marseille is a fine club, BUT I think Ben Arfa has the ability to play at a higher club. I also hope Nasri transfers out because he has the potential to be legend in France. We shall see.......
