West Ham United have completed the signing of Alex Song from Barcelona on a season-long loan deal.
The Cameroon international spent last season on loan at the Upton Park outfit from Barcelona and will now be spending a second year in succession at the east London outfit.
He expressed his delight upon the completion of the transfer, saying that it was important for him to return to the side as he enjoyed a great inaugural campaign with the club last season.
“I am very happy. For me it was very important to come back because when I was here I had a great rapport with the fans and the club”, he was quoted as saying by the West Ham United website.
“It was a very easy choice for me to come back here and I'm very happy to be here.”
