Barcelona could allow Alex Song to return to the Premier League after the former Gunner failed to impress in the 65 appearances made for the Catalans. According to Sky Sports, the 27 year old is being monitored by Chelsea who plan on making an offer for Arsenal’s former anchor. The Blues are looking for a defensive midfielder to replace Mikel and Song is particularly attractive due to his home-grown status.. The Cameroon international proved that England is the place where he feels most at home and managed to make 31 appearances for West Ham who took him in on a one year loan. Even though he was not the player he was while at Arsenal, he still showed a lot more than while in Spain.

With 2 years left of contract at Camp Nou, Song will probably have the chance to pick between West Ham, Chelsea and also Manchester City who are keen on securing the midfielder’s signature. The battle is pretty level considering the fact that Barcelona are asking only 1/3^rd of what they paid for Song when signing him from Arsenal. With a £5m price tag, any of the three could end up reaching an agreement with the Spaniards. Chelsea could look like the most tempting solution for the Cameroonian given the fact that London is the place where he feels most at home. Salary wise, rumors have it that he will request £70,000-per-week which might be a bit big for Mourinho who for that kind of salary secures the services of Ivanovic, Azpiliqueta, Matic, Ramires, Oscar or Willian who are key players for the Blues.
