Premier
League duo Liverpool and Arsenal will fight for Barcelona defensive midfielder
Alex Song, according to Daily Star.
The
former Gunner midfielder has revealed his desire to stay in the Premier League after
playing regular football this season at West Ham United.
Song
is currently on a loan deal at West Ham for this season, he will return to Camp Nou in the summer.
The
player has revealed his desire to stay in the Premier League as he could not
get enough playing time at Barcelona.
Song
left Arsenal for Barcelona for a fee around 15 million pounds in 2015, however
never got a consistent run of games for the Spanish side. He was linked last
summer with Liverpool but later signed a season long deal with the Hammers.

The
reports claim that the Hammers are interested in making his move permanent but the
player wants to play for a better club.
Song
told: “I definitely want to stay here (in England). I don’t know (if I can
sign a permanent deal at West Ham).”
The
Cameroonian is keen to stay in England but not sure which club will he be
playing next season.
The
North London side might resign him as they are already searching for holding
midfielders. Sporting Lisbon’s William Carvalho and Southampton’s Morgan
Schneiderlin have been Arsenal’s top target.
