The Cameroonian midfielder is reportedly under Barcelona radar, as Tito Vilanova is trying to sign a player who can fit in the midfield and the defence.
Barcelona’s chase for a defensive-minded midfielder has taken them to the Premier League club, Arsenal, where they are monitoring the situation of Alex Song.
La Blaugrana are trying to lure in another http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 player as they want someone who can not only play in the midfield, but also in defence.
With Seydou Keita leaving the club, Tito Vilanova has a vacant spot in the team’s line-up and even though the Malian midfielder was rarely given a first-team opportunity, he still managed to show his class on the pitch whenever he was given a chance.
It is now being reported that Barcelona want to sign Arsenal’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Song in order to replace Seydou Keita. Moreover, since Tito Vilanova has stated that he wants to buy two defensive players, Alex Song can be valid option for the Catalan manager.
Last season, Song showed the world that he cannot only play as a holding midfielder, but also as an attacking midfielder and a defender.
The Cameroonian midfielder is somewhat like a better and more technically gifted version of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177 and Tito Vilanova would definitely not mind having him in the team.
The Catalan club has already signed Arsenal’s former captain, Cesc Fabregas, last season and now they are trying to lure in the Cameroonian star from the Premier League club as well.
Last season, for Alex Song, was phenomenal and he grew as an important player in Arsenal’s midfield. However, this season, Arsene Wenger has managed to spend a little cash on buying new players and since Nuri Sahin is under their radar, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804 can be
on his way out of the club.
If http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 signs a contract for the Gunners, Alex Song’s role in the team would be limited and he will definitely try to find a new club for green pastured.
There is no doubt that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Alcantara.
Reports suggest that Barcelona are willing to pay 11.7 million Pounds for the Cameroonian midfielder.
