Arsenal midfielder Alex Song believes he has now
‘arrived’ after three and a half years at the club.
The Cameroon international, 21, has received critical acclaim
for his performances in recent weeks and he feels he has now earned
the trust of Arsene Wenger.
I think I’ve arrived now,” he told the official Arsenal
magazine.
“I’m more confident and I think the boss sees that as well.”
Song had previously fared badly in comparison to his 32-year-old
uncle, Rigobert, but he feels he has now established himself in his
own right.
“Before, when I went to the national team, some people would say
I was there because of my uncle,” he said.
“They would say, ‘Maybe it’s because we are family’ – blah, blah
blah – but now people tell him, ‘Your nephew is good. We’re happy
to have him’.”
