Crystal Palace are being heavily linked with a cut-price move for Barcelona midfielder Alex Song.

The Cameroon international is currently on a second season-long loan deal with West Ham United but it is believed the East Londoners are set to end their relationship with him this summer.

According to The Sun, Song is not in Slaven Bilic's plans and will not be offered a permanent contract by the Hammers which has opened the door to a potential move to Palace.

28-year-old Song is unwanted at Barcelona, where he has 12 months to run on his current deal, and could be made available for just £4million at the end of the current season.

The former Arsenal star, who Barcelona signed for £15m in 2012, has made just 12 appearances in the Premier League this season but Eagles boss Alan Pardew is believed to be eyeing him in a bid to add steel to his midfield.
