West Ham have agreed terms to a long-term contract with Barcelona midfielder Alex Song, reports the Daily Mail.
The Cameroonian spent last season on loan at Upton Park, and West Ham are very keen to bring the former Arsenal man back this summer on a permanent basis.
Reports claim that Song has agreed terms to a four-year deal worth £70,000-a-week, which is a hefty wage drop from what he’s currently earning in Spain from Barcelona.
The La Liga champions are desperate to offload the 27-year-old this summer, but want to recoup some of the £15m they spent on him three years ago.
However, the Hammers are hoping they can bide their time with Barcelona and hope they cave in and let the player go for nothing, despite the Catalan club wants around £5m for his services.
West Ham are said to be willing to pay a certain amount for Alex Song, but as interest elsewhere begins to dissipate, they believe Barcelona will eventually reduce their demands and a deal can be struck soon.
