Arsenal’s newest signing, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896 has gone on to insist that he decided to join the Gunners in order to win trophies.
The Gunners went on to confirm the signing of Podolski from Koln last week and the player is now set to make the move to the Emirates at the end of the Euro 2012.
In doing so, the German international has gone on to become the Gunners first signing for the coming season, with the team expected to go on and make a number of additions to the squad in the near future.
Podolski recently went on to talk about his decision to join the North London club and insisted that the only made the move to the Emirates, in order to win trophies and to play football at the highest of levels.
When talking about his move to the Premier League to play for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, Podolski is quoted to have said: "Arsenal are a huge football club and the objective must be to win titles in the coming years"
"I could have either continued at Koln or gone back to a top club. I had other offers but for me it was clear that I'd go to Arsenal. They have a great coach, a great stadium and great fans - and they have the same colours as Koln.”
He then went on to admit that he had not had a word with Arsene Wenger about his role in the team, or just what he had in mind for the forward’s future. He admitted that he was going to talk to the Gunners manager in the summers and at the moment he was
more concerned about playing to the best of his abilities for Koln.
"[Arsene Wenger and I] have not yet met, but we've talked on the phone. I haven't had the chance to travel to London because I'm focusing on Koln."
With Podolski now in the Gunners squad, the team has just the right fire power up front, to come out with a bang next season.
Nonetheless, it is now up to Wenger to try and get the German international to settle down at the club.
