Report: Alex Song to complete West Ham United move

West Ham United are reportedly keen to wrap up the signing of Alex Song this week.

The former Arsenal midfielder impressed with the Hammers last term during a season-long loan from Barcelona, whom he joined in 2012 for £16m.

Initially, United were said to be reluctant to meet the Catalans' £7m valuation of the 27-year-old Cameroonian.

However, both clubs have reached a compromise that will see Song join the Irons on a permanent contract in the coming days, according to The Mirror.

He was in attendance at Upton Park on Thursday as the East Londoners beat Lusitanos 3-0 to earn a first-leg lead in their Europa League first-round qualifier.
