Arsene Wenger rejected the opportunity to re-sign Barcelona outcast Alex Song last summer but he does seem to address precisely what the Gunners need.
The Cameroon international boasts a powerful 6 foot 1 frame and has already proved himself compatible with the Gunners’ definitive style of play, recording 13 assists across all competitions during his ultimate campaign in north London.
He’s well-experienced at the highest levels of the game, has plenty of football ahead of him at 27 years of age and looks set to leave the Nou Camp for an absolute pittance this summer after being deemed surplus to requirements.
The tabloids value him at just £5million, but currently Song looks set to join West Ham permanently after his successful loan spell last season.
