The FC Koln striker is considering moving to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 as his contract expires with the German club at the end of next season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, rekindled their interest in the striker. The Gunners were also interested in signing the attacker during this year’s
January transfer window but Koln managed to convince Podolski against the move.
It is believed that the German will be available for 16 million Euros by the end of this term.
It has been reported that both the parties have already held talks but nothing has been finalised yet. Podolski had previously expressed his desire to part ways with the Billy Goats due to lack of silverware in the offering. The
striker wants to win trophies on a consistent basis and as a result wishes to tie knots with a bigger club.
However, Podolski’s transfer will only be confirmed if Arsenal qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League. Arsene Wenger’s men are currently fighting for the fourth spot in the Premier League with the likes of Newcastle United,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 and sit fourth with 46 points, level on points with the Stamford Bridge outfit.
If reports are to be believed, Arsenal are ready to spend 16 million Euros for the striker but the Gunners are in danger of being involved in costly contract talks with their captain, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380. The Emirates outfit are keen
to extend the Dutchman’s deal as the attacker has been in scintillating form this season and has been Arsenal’s best player.
The London-based outfit’s decision depends on whether Van Persie stays at the club beyond the summer or not. If the transfer goes through, then Podolski will be the second German player at the Emirates after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 signed
from Werder Bremen last year.
Podolski has been in sublime touch this season and has already scored 15 league goals from 18 appearances for FC Koln. The former Bayern Munich star is also in contention for the Golden Boot award alongside Bayern’s Mario Gomez
and Schalke’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175.
