Sometimes referred to as the French Lionel Messi, Hatem Ben Arfa has been signed by another great of the game.
The former France international extended his much traveled and turbulent career on Tuesday by signing a contract with Valladolid, the Spanish soccer club whose main shareholder is former Brazil striker Ronaldo.
At 32, Ben Arfa was out of contract after leaving French club Rennes. The attacking midfielder has signed a deal until the end of the season in a bid to help his new team avoid relegation from the Spanish league.
Valladolid announced the transfer by posting a picture of Ben Arfa shaking hands with Ronaldo, who took over at Valladolid in September 2018.
