Liverpool join race for Alex Song

Liverpool will provide stiff competition to West Ham United in the pursuit of Alex Song's signature in the summer.

The former Cameroon international joined the Hammers from Barcelona on a season-long loan deal and has since been in great form for the East London outfit.

Reports reveal that Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is keen on signing a holding midfielder next summer, and the former Arsenal man fits the bill.

Song has revealed of his desire to remain in the Premier League next season, and Liverpool look front-runners to secure the player's services.
