Newcastle United midfielder Yohan Cabaye has praised teammate Hatem Ben Arfa.
Cabaye said that the 25-year-old's form has been a major factor in the Magpies' push for a Champions League spot next season.
Ben Arfa scored a wonder-goal to help Alan Pardew's men beat Bolton Wanderers on Monday.
"Hatem is in good form at the moment," said the 26-year-old. "It's good for us, and I hope that in the next five games his confidence stays high.
"He's a player in a different class. I have known him a long time and I know what is possible for him to do on the pitch. We are now seeing the real Ben Arfa."
Cabaye moved to the North East from French side Lille last summer.
