Toffees still keen on Ben Arfa move

Hatem Ben Arfa's agent claims Everton are still interested in bringing the Marseille forward to Goodison Park this summer.

David Moyes has been a long-time admirer and the Toffees were strongly linked with a move for the 23-year-old during the January transfer window.

Ben Arfa helped Marseille win their first Ligue 1 title for 18 years this season and is valued at £10million by the Mediterranean giants, having cost them £9m from Lyon in 2008.

And his agent, Frederic Guerra, reckons a deal could be done this summer as Moyes aims to boost his squad for the 2010/11 season.

Possible move

"Everton have been very interested for a while now and it's a possibility," Guerra told the Sun.

Ben Arfa has won seven caps for France but despite being named in Les Bleus' provisional 30-man World Cup squad, he was cut from the final 23 for this summer's finals.
