Hatem Ben Arfa has reportedly rejected the chance to join Birmingham City.
The Frenchman is widely expected to leave Newcastle United on deadline day, with a number of clubs linked with a move for the talented attacker.
However, according to Sky Sports News, Birmingham have failed with a move for the 27-year-old, who is not prepared to drop into the Championship.
Ben Arfa is almost certain to depart the Magpies, but his destination is currently unclear.
