Lukas Podolski Hints At Lazio Move

Evening Gooners. Arsenal target Lukas Podolski has given a strong hint that he would like to sign for Lazio this summer in order to link up with former team mate Miroslav Klose.

All the talk in recent weeks has suggested that Podolski’s move to Arsenal was a ‘done-deal’, with reports claiming a £10.9m deal had been agreed with Cologne and the player had even completed a medical (source: Daily Star).

However, today the striker is quoted by the Metro (originally from Italian source Corriere Dello Sport) as hinting he is interested in moving to Serie A club Lazio in order to link up with former Bayern Munich team mate Miroslav Klose.

Klose moved to Lazio in the summer and has scored 12 goals in 25 games so far this season, and 26-year-old Podolski has said he would love to link up with him again, but insisted his future is still undecided.

“It would be great to play alongside him again, Miro has spoken well of Lazio and he’s happy in Rome.

“My future has yet to be decided.” – Podolski told Corriere dello Sport

So it seems the transfer of Podolski to Arsenal is anything but a ‘done-deal’. No doubt several clubs will be interested in him this summer, so we better brace ourselves for a transfer battle.
