Man City weigh up Alex Song bid

Manchester City are planning a summer move for Barcelona midfielder Alex Song, according to a report.

The 27-year-old plyed his trade on loan for West Ham United in the recently concluded Premier League season.

However, The Hammers failed in their attempt to make his temporary move a permanent one.

According to ESPN, the Citizens are keen on signing up the former Cameroon international this summer, in order to increase their homegrown quota.

Song is eligible to be a homegrown player, having spent three years at Arsenal before turning 21.
