Report: West Ham United close in on free signing Alex Song

A report claims that Barcelona midfielder Alex Song has edged closer to a switch to West Ham United, where he will join the Hammers on a free contract.

West Ham United are reportedly on the brink of agreeing a deal with Barcelona that will see Alex Song return to the club on a free transfer.

The Cameroon international, who is also thought to be a summer target for Premier League rivals Chelsea, spent last season on loan at Upton Park.

A report in The Telegraph claims that Barcelona are now ready to drop the £5m asking price for the 27-year-old, and will instead allow him to leave for nothing should West Ham match his £70,000-a-week wages.

Hammers co-chairman David Sullivan admitted earlier this month that the East London outfit were keen to land Song, who qualifies as a home-grown player due to his time spent with Arsenal.
