Alexandre Song Leaves West Ham, Eyes New Destination
It is official: Alexandre Song is no longer a West Ham United player. The English club confirmed on its official website that they will not retain the Cameroonian midfielder, who must now find a new team during the ongoing transfer window.
Still under contract with FC Barcelona, a return to the Catalan club is not expected, given the fierce competition in midfield.
Interest is already emerging elsewhere. Galatasaray has reportedly expressed a desire to sign the former Barcelona player. Fans of the Turkish side may dream of a partnership between Song and Wesley Sneijder in midfield.
Born on September 9, 1987, Alexandre Dimitri Song Bilong concluded his international career following a disappointing 2014 World Cup in Brazil and a sidelining during the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. He earned 49 caps for Cameroon between 2008 and 2014.
