West Ham United agree permanent Alex Song deal

West Ham United have agreed to sign midfielder Alex Song on a permanent deal from Barcelona.

The Cameroon international spent last season on loan at Upton Park, making 31 appearances in all competitions for the Hammers.

"We have a deal in place with Alex Song subject to a medical," Hammers co-chairman David Sullivan told KUMB Podcast. "If the medical is okay, we'll take him.

"He's injured at the moment, which is something you've got to weight up, but we've got until September 1 to make a decision."

West Ham return to Premier League action on Saturday when they host Bournemouth.
