The French midfielder is on loan from Newcastle United after a series of bust-ups at St James' Park
But Bruce believes he will fit right in just fine and said: "He is a talent and there might be a bit of a maverick in him but there's a few mavericks around here, so he's in good company.
"There is no doubt about Ben Arfa's ability. He has to knuckle down and get himself physically in the right condition because you can't play in the Premier League if you're not.
"It's a big move for him too.
"I think he might just have something to prove and when someone has got a fire burning inside them to prove people wrong then sometimes you can benefit from that. Let's hope so."
