The Cameroon international was keen on a move back to the Emirates and revealed he only left the Gunners because he had won nothing and was growing tired of seeing the club sell their star players.
Speaking to L’Equipe yesterday, Song said:
‘I had been there a long time but won nothing. Every year, we lost our best players – Cesc, Robin (Van Persie), Samir (Nasri). If the club had kept everyone, Arsenal would have been champions during that time.’
However, the 27-year-old has now seen much game time in a Barca shirt but says he couldn’t turn down the chance to play for the La Liga giants:
‘I had the chance to go to Barca. And you don’t turn that down. You only get that chance once.’
Song revealed that although he could have played Champions League football in Italy with Napoli or Roma or in Turkey, his priority was to come back to England where he made his name:
‘I could have played in the Champions League in Italy with Napoli or Roma or in Turkey. I could have played in France too at Marseille.
‘But my priority was to come back to England. For me and for the family. We feel good here. I have discovered a club that I didn’t know and with whom it is going rather well.’
The former Gunner wants to play Champions League football next season but not with Barcelona
‘Of course. But not at Barcelona. My future is in England.’
Taking this all into account, should Arsene Wenger seriously consider bringing Song back to the Emirates over the summer?
