Fresh news from English source Sky Sports indicates that Lukas Podolski is set to join Internazionale on a loan transfer. According to reports, the German forward will be in Milan on Friday night for talks as a permanent deal worth £5M could be possible. This transfer report may not sound well in the ears of Arsenal fans – especially a day after suffering a disappointing 2-0 loss away to Southampton in the English Premier League.
However, Arsene Wenger fuelled speculations on Thursday by stating:
“The first proposal [from Inter] was farcical. After, they come back a bit more serious. We will see what happens.
“Is the move inevitable? Inevitable in a transfer is very difficult to say but we’ll see what happens. Of course, Podolski is open [to the move].”
Podolski, meanwhile, hit back at earlier reports from The Mirror which claimed that the striker had stormed out of Arsenal’s training session. The 29-year-old World Cup winner took to Twitter on New Year’s Day to declare:
