Former Newcastle United winger Hatem Ben Arfa has revealed up to 18 clubs have declared an interest in signing him next season.
The 29-year-old has revived his career at Nice, scoring 18 goals in Ligue 1 and making the standby list for France's European Championships squad.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, he says a number of clubs are vying for his signature.
While speaking to Canal Plus, Arfa revealed he has whittled down the interest and is considering offers from three teams.
"There are 18 very interesting clubs who have put themselves forward. I have picked out three," the French international said.
"There are plenty of offers, like the one from Lyon. They are a very ambitious club with a very ambitious president (Jean-Michel Aulas). Any club with ambition is very interesting.
"It's a very important decision for me to take this year. I will reflect and discuss it with my entourage."
