Former Arsenal midfielder Alex Song is prepared to lobby FIFA and take legal action against Swiss club Sion after they sacked him for refusing to take a pay cut amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Song and eight other players, including another ex-Arsenal player Johan Djourou, were fired after either failing to respond to a WhatsApp message to the squad from club president Christian Constantin or refusing his offer.
Constantin wanted the Sion players to take a 'technical unemployment' deal which would see them receive a reduced payment of around 12,000 euros (£10,750) to help the club deal with economic difficulties caused by the league season being halted.
