Remember Hatem Ben Arfa? The former Newcastle winger who claimed he could win the Ballon d’Or back in 2013?
Well, he’s now at Ligue 1 side Nice after his spell in England turned sour – but it seems that he’s rediscovered his talent in a blistering start to the season.
The 28-year-old scored this brilliant strike in a 4-1 win away to Rennes on Sunday, taking him to the top of the Ligue 1 scorers list with seven goals in nine matches.
Perhaps that Ballon d’Or dream is still alive after all…

Hatem Ben Arfa is on fire. Nice are on fire. Top scorers in France this season – netted 17 goals in their last 4 games. Very…Nice…
