After an impressive 2011-12 season with Arsenal FC, Alex Song has agreed on a €20 million transfer to Spanish giants FC Barcelona. The player, often seen as a midfield ‘destroyer’ has a strong line up of capabilities that could see him succeed at the Nou Camp.
Song spent four years at Wenger’s Gunners, refining his undoubted skill set and turning into a world-class midfield marshall who can play long or short passes, lob the opposition defence and has a physical presence in the center of the park.
Known for scoring the ocassional goal with a knack for the spectacular finish, Song racked up 12 assists in 2011-12 for Arsenal and was named as their second best player by the fans after Robin Van Persie.
