Barcelona’s search for a defensive-minded player has taken them to the Premier League, where they are monitoring the situation of the Cameroonian player, Alex Song, who is currently a part of Arsenal.
The midfielder had a spectacular last season at the Emirates and is expected to repeat his exploits in the upcoming season.
Therefore, Barcelona’s new coach, Tito Vilanova, is planning on luring the Cameroonian star to his team.
After Josep Guardiola left his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 at the Nou Camp, the management decided to make Tito Vilanova the new in charge of the club.
The former assistant coach for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 suddenly recognized the need for having at least two defensive players and that is what he told the management.
La Blaugrana were quick to react to Vilanova’s needs on the pitch, and lured their former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863.
The Spanish full-back was the surprise package during Spain’s Euro 2012 triumph, and La Blaugrana are definitely going to better with his inclusion in the team.
However, Vilanova believes that one more defensive player will help the team and that is the reason why he was eyeing a move for players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Laurent-Koscielny-c21742, and now Alex Song.
Apparently, Song will add more to the team’s line-up. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177 gone, Song can become the utility man for La Blaugrana has he can play in any position.
The Cameroonian midfielder can adjust in the back-line, the holding midfield, the centre midfield and the attacking midfield.
Moreover, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804 is a phenomenal passer of the ball, something that the Catalan giants rely on a bit too much.
La Blaugrana and Arsenal follow the same passing football philosophy and Song will not take a lot of time to adjust with the team.
Song moving to the Nou Camp would also see him uniting with his former captain, Cesc Fabregas, who was once considered to be the best player at the Emirates.
The transfer is expected to take place soon, and La Blaugrana are willing to pay 15 million Pounds for the midfielder.
