Arsenal target tracked by both Milan clubs

AC Milan and Inter Milan have both set their sights on former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song, according to talkSPORT.

The Cameroon international may be on the move in January, after struggling to establish himself at Barcelona since his move in the summer of 2012.

He had been strongly linked with a possible return to Arsenal, although Arsene Wenger does not appear interested after signing Mathieu Flamini on a free in the summer.

The Frenchman has excelled in the holding midfield position, meaning Wenger does not need to spend money to re-sign Song.

However, San Siro giants AC Milan and Inter Milan have both made enquiries about the 26-year-old’s availability, and could be set for a January battle for his services.

Song is under contract at the Nou Camp until 2017, and has made just 22 league starts since arriving at the Nou Camp almost 18 months ago.

A brief stint at centre half did not have the same impact as Javier Mascherano’s positional change, and the Catalan club are thought to be ready to listen to offers in January.

Song made close to 150 league appearances for the Gunners, after joining as a youngster in 2005. His final season at the Emirates saw him produce arguably his best form, as he struck a devastating understanding with Robin van Persie, although both were to leave the club the following summer.
