Former Arsenal star confesses he moved to Barcelona because Of the money

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song revealed he moved to Barcelona from the Emirates club just for the money.

The Cameroonian was bought to the Gunners in 2006 from then-Ligue 1 outfit Bastia and made a total of 133 appearances for Arsenal scoring a total of just seven goals.

Song was never lucky with Gunners in terms of winning silverware as the midfielder could only manage a Runners up medal in the League Cup in his eight-year stay at the London club.

The Cameroonian would however seek for greener pastures abroad when he sealed a £15million move to Barcelona from the Emirates stadium in 2012.
