A high profile coach like Rémi Garde has many connections given all the world class players he has coached along the way. Hatem Ben Arfa, who is without contract after this season, seems to be the next potential target.
Impact fans should not read into this rumour just yet as all Garde expressed is that he knows Ben Arfa really well and if he is looking into making a move to the MLS he would be welcomed to the Impact.
Hatem Ben Arfa, the 31-year-old, attacking midfielder, could be a great pick up for the Impact.
