Alex Song linked with a move to Crytal Palace

According to the Sun, Barcelona midfielder Alex Song could be headed for a move to Crystal Palace this summer.

Song is in his second season on loan to West Ham, but hasn't been a part of Slaven Bilic's plans at the Boleyn Ground this campaign. Palace could be extra motivated by the rumoured £4 million cut-rate price tag for the 28-year-old.

Song, who has never delivered on the potential that saw him move from Arsenal to Barca in 2012 for £15m, has a clause in his contract that would allow the Hammers to sign him permanently. The report says he's been informed the club won't exercise that option.

A Palace move for Song would also necessitate that the Cameroon international take a pay-cut from his current wage package of £80,000 per week at Upton Park.
