UEFA Champions League: Arsenal move to snap up Song

/noticias.info/ SC Bastia's teenaged Cameroonian defender Alexandre Song has joined Arsenal FC on a season-long loan with an option of a €4m permanent transfer.

Famous uncle
The 17-year-old nephew of Galatasaray SK's Rigobert Song impressed Arsène Wenger during a summer trial to the extent that he will be included in the London club's squad for the forthcoming Premiership season. "We have just bought in Song," Wenger said on Friday afternoon. "It is a loan with an option to buy. He is only 17 but from what I have seen he is a very good player."

Fee paid
Bastia announced that Arsenal have paid €500,000 for the loan of a player who appeared in 32 of the French club's 38 Ligue 1 games last season - Song's first in senior football. notas_de_prensa_archivo
