West Ham continue to be linked with a move for Barcelona's Alex Song, as the transfer deadline draws ever closer.

Cameroon international Song is surplus to requirements at Nou Camp and has been linked with a move to London, with Tottenham also cited as a potential destination for the 26-year-old defensive ex-Arsenal midfielder who can also operate at centre half.

Song joined the Spanish giants in a £15million deal in the summer of 2012, following six years at Highbury/The Emirates. Arsenal had previously signed the combative midfielder from French club Bastia for just £1million in 2006.

Liverpool and AC Milan are also understood to be interested in signing the player, although West Ham are currently considered favourites to land the cousin of former Hammer Rigobert Song.
