Alex Song was at the Boleyn Ground last night to watch West Ham beat Lusitanos in their Europa League qualifying tie.
The Barcelona midfielder was in the stands as Terry Westley's young side beat the Andorrans 3-0, ahead of a return to the club on a permanent basis according to reports.The 27-year-old midfielder proved a stunning success at the Boleyn initially last season before going off the boil in the second half of the season (although that applied to many more than just the former Cameroon international).
Further speculation tonight suggests that the Hammers have landed their man on a free transfer, despite Barcelona having set his sale price at circa £5million.
Despite interest from other major European clubs, Song is happy in London and has expressed a preference for remaining in the capital - apparently swaying Barce to comply with West Ham's - and Song's - wishes.
