Alex Song: Ex-Arsenal, Barcelona midfielder has joined a club in Djibouti

Song is best known for his time at the Gunners where he made 215 appearances in total. In 2012 he joined Barcelona on a five-year contract for £15m, but failed to make an impression at the Catalan club and moved to West Ham in 2014 after 39 appearances.

Former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Alex Song has joined a club in the Djibouti league. Song, 33, has signed a two-year deal with Djibouti League side AS Arta Solar 7.

The former Cameroon international joins the club as a free agent. He left Swiss outfit Sion in March 2020 alongside eight other players after refusing to take a pay cut because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
