Alex Song likens West Ham to Spanish champs Atletico Madrid

West Ham United midfielder Alex Song feels they're capable of qualifying for Europe this season.

Song believes the east London club are on the verge of a fantastic new era.

The 27-year-old told the Mirror "The future of the club is very good. That's why I chose to come here. In Spain nobody was expecting anything from Atletico Madrid and look at how well they are doing.

"You have to look at examples like that. The way that West Ham are looking now, in the next five years they will be one of the best clubs in England.

"When I see the way that we play and where we are at the moment I know that I made a very good choice."
