Arsenal Sign Lukas Podolski From FC Koln For £10.9 Million
The Gunners have been chasing the 26-year-old forward for months and have finally concluded the deal with just weeks to go before the end of the season.
"The move to Arsenal provides a great opportunity for me to gain experience in international competitions at a top European club."The securing of Podolski's signature is great news for Arsene Wenger who has been promised a transfer war-chest this summer to improve his squad, having a chunk of the Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri profits from last season available to him. This is the first of what is expected to be a large summer raid of Europe for new talent the Frenchman hopes to bring to the Emirates.
