On Song for £2m

Charlton are reported to be willing to pay Arsenal £2m to secure the services of Cameroon midfielder Alexandre Song. Although Song's performance was not always consistent when he was on loan with the Addicks, I think that his signature on a permanent basis would do a lot to strengthen a still far from satisfactory midfield.

Given the difficulty he would have in breaking into the Arsenal midfield, he may well be tempted to come back to The Valley.
