Alex Song has given West Ham fresh hope of landing him on a permanent deal.

Song won’t decide his future until the end of his season-long loan spell at Upton Park.

Sam Allardyce, who wants to sign the Barcelona midfielder on a full-time basis, faces a fight to keep Song.

The Cameroon international, 27, has indicated he wants his next club to be playing in the Champions League.

But in an interview with a France-based newspaper, Song said: “I want to stay here.

“There were offers on the table from clubs in Italy, France and Turkey.

“People ask me why I joined West Ham, but I don’t regret it.”
