Background: Alex son was born in Douala, Cameroon. He lost his father at the age of 3. His cousin Rigobert Song took care of him and raised him up. He has 17 sisters and 10 brothers.

Career: During his time in Bastia, he attracted attentions from numerous clubs including Juventus and Manchester United. In 2005 Bastia loaned their price asset to Arsenal and later sold them for 10 million pounds despite being heavily linked to Lyon.

Since that day, Song is playing for Arsenal. He prefer playing as defensive midfielder. In the last game against Bortmund Song has proved to be brilliant. he went through many ups and downs during the years. His last year at arsenal is regarded as the best.

The guy is known for his versetality not only on the pitch but also in his hair style. He experiments a lot with his looks. And many follow him. He marked his 2010-11 season with blond style. The guy has always some ideas of what to do next. Being a defensive midfielder, Song scored 9 times in his career and assisted 10 times. That is not bad for a Defensive Midfielder guys.

Now as the Arsenal moves through more difficult times now. Its vital that Song takes the responsibilty and help Mertesacker and Kocielny Defend with purpose and vigour. We'll be needing all the more now. Good luck to him and Arsenal!!
