Barcelona want to take Alex Song from Arsenal.

The Cameroon international has established himself as a key member of Arsene Wenger’s side, as both a defensive and creative midfielder.

Song is under contract at the Emirates Stadium until the summer of 2014, but the Gunners are looking to tie him to a new contract before the start of the season.

They should probably look to do this sooner rather than later, though, as reports in Spain claim Barca are lining up a £12million offer for the 24-year-old.
