Chelsea linked with Song, while West Ham reportedly want Blues winger

Chelsea are interested in Barcelona’s former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song, as are Manchester United, according to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo.

It is claimed that Barca value the 26-year-old, who left the Gunners in 2012, at £20m.

MeanwhileSky Sports say West Ham are looking to take Chelsea winger Christian Atsu on loan.

Liverpool are reportedly weighing up a move for QPR striker Loic Remy as they seek a replacement for Luis Suarez.

With Suarez set to complete a transfer to Barcelona, Goal.com say Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers could make a move for Remy.

Newcastle, where the Frenchman was on loan last season, want to sign him on a permanent deal.

Talksport, on the other hand, claim Arsenal and Tottenham are battling to sign Remy.

QPR have again been tipped to seal the signings of Cardiff defender Steven Caulker and former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand.

West London Sport recently revealed that Rangers were targeting Caulker and later that they were in talks with the England international after meeting the £8m release clause in his contract, and that R’s chairman Tony Fernandes has misgivings about bringing in Ferdinand despite a deal being agreed in principle.

Sky Sports say Rangers are expected to confirm both deals next week.

The Daily Star say QPR are one of several clubs keeping tabs on Billericay Town forward Isaac Layne and that a clause in his contract means a League club can buy him for a pound.

Layne, 19, has been on trial at Charlton. Burnley, Millwall and Southend are also said to be interested.
