Former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song has instructed his agents to find him a new club, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Cameroon international is currently preparing to represent his country at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but his club situation is also being discussed, with the former Gunner having contacted his agent following Barcelona’s contract renewal of Javier Mascherano.

Argentine Mascherano joined Barcelona as a central midfielder but was quickly converted to centre-back, playing alongside Gerard Pique on recent seasons.

However, with the Catalan club making moves to sign a new centre-back, it is widely expected that Mascherano will now share the role of defensive midfielder with Sergio Busquets, deeming Song’s position at the club – as third choice.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked in recent weeks but it is understood that Song has now also told his agent to look at the possibility of moving to Italy or France.

AC Milan and Paris Saint Germain have been credited with interest in the midfielder before and could re-ignite that interest – if Barcelona want to sell.
