The Catalans are targeting the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 midfielder, Alex Song, during this summer transfer window and Busquets believes that the Cameroonian can be a great addition to the team.
Tito Vilanova’s search for a defensive minded player has taken his scouts to North London where they are monitoring the situation of the Cameroonian midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804.
Last season Barcelona had to suffer a lot because of their defensive crises. The Frenchman, Eric Abidal, couldn’t play because of a liver tumour, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gerard-c14664 Pique picked up injuries off and on.
Therefore, this season, with Tito Vilanova taking charge of the club, the Spanish coach has already told the management that he will be buying two defensive players.
The Spanish full-back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-Alba-c19111, became the first player which Barcelona signed, and now the reports suggest that Alex Song is under the Catalan radar.
Alex Song might be a direct replacement for the departing midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177. The Malian midfielder played a lot of games for Barcelona, even though he did not start all of them.
Therefore, the Spanish giants now need a player who can settle into the team from any position and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Song definitely has what it takes to become a utility player for Barcelona.
The midfielder can play in the centre of the pitch, as a holding midfielder and as an attacking midfielder. Moreover, Song also has the ability to play in defence, and he has done this for Arsenal a number of times.
Since Alex Song is going to be directly challenging the position of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 team.
While speaking to the press about Alex Song, Sergio Busquets said:
“Song is a very good player - young, a hard worker, with lots of physical power.”
Alex Song’s name came into picture after Athletic Bilbao over priced their midfield player, Javi Martinez, during this summer transfer window.
Tito Vilanova wants a player who can not only play as a defender, but can also slot into other positions. Therefore, players like Alex Song and Javi http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martinez-c24468 are under the Barcelona radar.
