Hammers co-chairman David Sullivan on Wednesday revealed that Song is on the verge of a permament transfer, with the Barcelona midfielder due to undergo a medical before the deal can be completed.
Bilic backs the former Arsenal man to make his presence in the London club's midfield felt once again after impressing during a loan spell last season.
"You've seen the chairman's statement on Alex Song and we've agreed the terms. Now it's subject to the medical." he told reporters.
"We are really confident that he will pass that and everyone agrees, football people across the country, that he was brilliant last year.
"If we can get him playing like that across the whole season, he could be crucial."
