West Ham co-owner David Sullivan says a deal has been agreed to sign Alex Song from Barcelona, if the player can pass a medical.

The 27-year-old Cameroon international spent last season on loan with the Hammers and impressed sufficiently to earn a permanent move and a three-year contract, as long as the former Arsenal midfielder can prove his fitness.

Sullivan said: “We have a deal in place with Song subject to a medical. He’s injured at the moment, which is something you’ve got to weight up. But we’ve got until September 1 to make a decision.”
