"We have a deal in place with Alex Song subject to a medical,"confirmed Sullivan. "If the medical is ok, we'll take him.
"He's injured at the moment, which is something you've got to weigh up. But we've got until September 1st to make a decision."
"He couldn't physically pass a medical tomorrow, but if the medics say it's just a technical thing and he's only a couple of weeks away you'd take that gamble and hope they're right.
"He's still got two years left on his Barcelona contract and you're signing a player on a three-year contract, so it's a huge commitment. He's a big earner, Alex."

West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has confirmed that the club have agreed a deal to sign Alex Song from Barcelona.
Sullivan, speaking exclusively to Chris Scull and James Longman on this week's edition of the KUMB Podcast revealed that the Barcelona star is set to return to the Boeybn Ground - but only if he successfully navigates a medical.
"We have a deal in place with Alex Song subject to a medical,"confirmed Sullivan. "If the medical is ok, we'll take him.
"He's injured at the moment, which is something you've got to weight up. But we've got until September 1st to make a decision."
Sullivan, who appeared on the KUMB Podcast along with sons Dave and Jack also admitted that bringing the 27-year-old midfielder back to the Boleyn Ground would constitute somthing of a gamble given his medical history and current physical status.
"He's a player we all admire and we just hope that the medical shows he's in a sufficient state for us to gamble," added Sullivan.
"He couldn't physically pass a medical tomorrow, but if the medics say it's just a technical thing and he's only a couple of weeks away you'd take that gamble and hope they're right.
"He' still got two years left on his Barcelona contract and you're signing a player on a three-year contract, so it's a huge commitment. He's a big earner, Alex.
"On his pre-Chistmas form he was possibly the best player we've ever signed. But after Christmas he was just another player. Maybe there's reasons for that and maybe we'll see the true Alex Song and maybe he'll make a huge contribution this year.
"We're quite short in that department actually, if we get an injury or two there's not much. So we'd like another senior pro in that position."

Superb news.
Maybe 13BR can stop shrieking about this hysterically on every thread now.

Good work Sully, hopefully he'll get fit and Bilic will get him playing after OAF sucked the life out of him.

Hopefully not the same medical ''experts'' who diagnosed Valencia as not needing an operation....
