Alex Song could leave Arsenal, says Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Alex Song could leave the club, but hinted there could still be further additions.

Robin van Persie is set to join Manchester United and midfielder Song, 24, has been linked with Barcelona.
Arsenal are reportedly interested in Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin and when asked about the possibility of more signings, plus the departure of Song, Wenger said: "Both can happen."
Meanwhile, Thomas Vermaelen has been confirmed as Arsenal captain.

Alex Song

• Born: 9 September 1987 in Douala, Cameroon.
• Clubs: Bastia (2004-2006), Arsenal (2005-2006, loan), Arsenal (2006-present), Charlton (2007, loan)
• International caps: 30

Song is one of Wenger's longest-serving players, having joined Arsenal as a 17-year-old from French side Bastia in 2005.

He initially joined on a one-year loan deal, with a £2.75m fee agreed to make the move permanent.
Song went on to make over 200 appearances for Arsenal, including 34 in the Premier League last season. His current contract is due to expire in the summer of 2014.
