West Ham will have another Barcelona target on their minds when they talk to the Catalan giants about Alex Song at the end of the season.

For although the chances are remote they want to discuss a possible deal for Sergio Busquets to strengthen their midfield.

With the club heading for the Olympic Stadium and a new boss almost certain to be installed, they believe it is worth at least trying to get an answer on a player who has been in and out of the Barca team and on their minds for some time.

David Gold and David Sullivan are ready to start a new Hammers era and that the news has leaked out to ClaretandHugh as early as April 1 shows that ambition.

The player has made over 200 appearances for Barca.
