It now appears that the 25 year old midfielder is keen to make a return to North London. The player’s cousin, a fellow former Cameroonian international Rigobert Song, stated that Alex is keen to join up once more with Arsene Wenger’s men.
“Barcelona put so much effort into signing him last summer, and Alex turned down many great teams in order to sign with them’, said Rigobert Song.
“But this season he has only been a substitute. He is not happy.
“At Arsenal he was a leader on and off the field – he doesn’t feel like this in Spain and it makes him feel bad.”
