Liverpool winning race to sign Barcelona midfielder Alex Song?

Liverpool are closing in on a surprise loan deal for Barcelona defensive midfielder Alex Song. The Cameroon international has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou.

The former Arsenal midfielder has struggled to adjust to life in La Liga and is fond of a return to the Premier League.

Song has apparently attracted the interest of his former club but is favouring a move to Liverpool as Brendan Rodgers looks set to open talks with Barcelona regarding a potential transfer.
