Frenchman Hatem Ben Arfa, free since leaving Valladolid, has signed up for a season, with another optional, with Bordeaux, his sixth L1 club, the Girondins announced on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old attacking midfielder has had a tough last season.
Without activity for six months following his departure from Rennes in June 2019, he had tried to bounce back last winter in Valladolid, Spain, playing five matches, the last on July 7 against Valencia.
The international with the 15 selections will make his first training Thursday morning before being presented to Matmut Atlantique.
Ben Arfa, who played in Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Paris SG and Rennes, as well as Newcastle and Hull in the Premier League, received several club proposals this summer but favored a return to L1.
