2) Alex Song (Barcelona to Liverpool)
Hardly the best midfielder in the world, but Liverpool could be close to pulling off a good signing here as they reportedly make progress in their efforts to bring former Arsenal star Alex Song back to the Premier League. After a difficult couple of years on the fringes of the first-team at Barcelona, Song could benefit from a move to a club where he would be first choice, and there’s no doubt that on his day he could add something to this Liverpool team. The Cameroon international is expected to move to Anfield on an initial loan deal with the view to completing a permanent transfer for around £10m next summer.
