West Ham Set To Confirm Song’s Signing
Cameroonian Alex Song
should complete a permanent move to West Ham United this week.
The Hammers have reportedly reached an agreement with Spanish giants Barcelona to take the 27-year-old midfielder on a permanent basis after the Catalans initially demanded £6million.
Song was in the stands at Upton Park last week to watch West Ham beat FC Lusitans 3-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League first qualifying round tie.
The former Arsenal midfielder, who is surplus to requirements at Barca, wants to remain in London after spending last season on loan at West Ham.
West Ham are hopeful of confirming his signing, along with that of right-back Carl Jenkinson on a second successive season-long loan from Arsenal.
