Sergio Busquets eager for Alex Song to join Barcelona

Sergio Busquets has insisted that he would "welcome" a move for Arsenal midfielder Alex Song from Barcelona.

Song has been heavily linked with a move to the Spanish club this summer and Busquets has claimed that he would be happy to compete with the Cameroon international for a place in the Barcelona team.

The Spaniard said: "Song is a very good player - young, a hard worker, with lots of physical power.

"Another player in my position would be welcome, but either way I will keep working hard to win a place in the starting team."

Arsenal recently revealed that they have received no bids for Song.
