Arsenal midfielder Alexandre Song, nephew of Cameroon international Rigobert Song has joined the addicks until the end of the season. Alan Pardew is trying to add to his squad to ensure they have the troops required for the relegation battle ahead.

He has been limited to just cup and substitute appearances for Arsenal this season as there are a number of other midfielders ahead of him in the Arsenal squad and Arsene Wenger is eager for him to get more first team football.
