Alex Song played the entire past season on a loan deal with West Ham United where he managed to play at a fairly high level; he didn’t manage to stand out in any particular way but the Cameroonian midfielder did his job well.
There were moments when his performances were clearly underwhelming and this was why he was dropped to the bench on a number of occasions in the last stages of the season but it wasn’t a horrible season for the player who is currently performing for Barcelona.
If rumors are indeed true and Chelsea as well as Manchester City are interested in signing Alex Song, he might turn into a big summer target for these 2 top clubs of the Premier League.
Alex Song is a player who can serve as a defensive midfielder and can also be placed in the defence of any team but in the case of Chelsea, he might be placed behind NemanjaMatic and be utilized as a holding midfielder.
A transfer fee in the region of €6 million could be enough to snatch Alex Song and if either Manchester City or Chelsea are able to sign Alex Song it would be a good transfer for any of the Premier League clubs as Alex Song has already has experience performing in the English League after performing with Arsenal for over 10 years and he is eager of getting into a top club and winning titles.
John Obi Mikel is expected to leave Chelsea in the summer and Alex Song is being viewed as a possible replacement. Both Manchester City and Chelsea have more than enough cash to sign Alex Song so this transfer will probably not going to be decided by the money, instead it will be decided by what club Song wants to join and it will preferably be one where his chances of getting into the main team are higher.
