The Cameroonian Alexandre Song, who belongs to the French team but was loaned out to an English club this season, should sign a long-term contract with the London club in the coming days.
This summer, Song participated in the "Arsenal" camp and immediately impressed the team's head coach Arsène Wenger, so considering that his former team "Bastia" dropped to "Ligue 2" last season, it was not difficult for the English to acquire him.
In total, the 19-year-old Cameroonian played seven games for "Arsenal" this season, including two in the UEFA Champions League, during which he managed to convince Arsène Wenger to keep him. It is estimated that this transfer to the London club could have cost 4 million euros.
Meanwhile, another "Arsenal" defender, the Frenchman Robert Pires, is increasingly linked to the Spanish club "Villarreal" in the press, and it is quite possible that after this season the veteran will leave the English team.
This season, "Arsenal" eliminated "Villarreal" in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals and next week will try to beat another Spanish football representative, "Barcelona," in the final.
