Alex Song to earn new Arsenal contract

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is hoping to agree terms with Cameroon international midfielder Alex Song this week, and the player could almost double his salary on a brand new £85,000 per week deal. French side PSG were believed to be preparing a transfer move in the summer.

Song has become a crucial member of the Gunners' first team squad this year, with a number of stunning assists for Arsenal's front line.


Since joining from French side Bastia in 2006, Alex Song has become a first team regular for the North London side and a firm fan favourite.


Song will put pen to paper on a new contract at the Emirates at the end of the season.
