Barcelona to launch £11m bid for Alex Song?

Barcelona are reportedly expected to lodge an £11.7m bid for Arsenal midfielder Alex Song.

The Cameroon international, who has been touted as a possible departure from the Emirates this season, is believed to have been targeted by the Spanish giants following the exit of Seydou Keita.

It is understood that while Javi Martinez was initially thought to be on Barca's wishlist, reports in Spain have indicated that Song is a potential candidate, according to talkSPORT.

Song moved to Arsenal in 2006.
