Podolski seems to be the man we all seem to love, but when he puts on a pair of football boots, things just don’t seem to go the right way.

The German star arrived at the Gunners back in 2012, and since then has picked up just 19 goals from 60 appearances, most of which have come from off the bench.

Podolski couldn’t have moved quicker in January, as he headed out on loan to Inter Milan with the intention of getting more appearances under his belt.

How has he done? 

Things haven’t exactly brightened up for the winger whilst playing football in Italy, he’s picked up just one goal in 14 appearances since his move back in January.

The fans have grown frustrated with his lack of work rate whilst playing out on the left side of midfield, and it seems as if Podolski has lost his spark.

Who will he go to?

Rumours and reports have flown about the newspapers regarding the future of Podolski, and with Inter Milan reportedly stating they will not make a permanent bid for the German, he could be ending up anywhere next season.

At the moment though, it seems Galatassary have confirmed to be interested in the 29-year-old, who will surely be looking to play regular first team football.

A place in the Premier League doesn’t look likely though, with Podolski keen on featuring in Champions League football once again.

How much can we get for him?

Arsene Wenger will surely cash in on the winger, with no place left for him in the squad following the arrival of both Alexis and Danny Welbeck.

His current transfer value is set around £10million, but depending on the demand for the World Cup winner, that figure could rise to £15million. Surely a great chance to build up the books and cash in on a world-class name.
