Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski is set to join Inter Milan on loan this January, according to reports, and Gunners manager Arsene Wenger could now cast his eye towards a replacement.
Ed Aarons of the Guardian confirmed that Podolski “arrived in Italy to complete his loan move” on Friday night.
Aarons continued: “He [was] expected to have a medical on Saturday and sign until the end of the season, with Inter believed to have an option to make the deal permanent in the summer.”
The 29-year-old scored 19 goals in 60 Premier League appearances for Arsenal.
However, Podolski has made just seven substitute appearances this season.
A useful, versatile forward option, Podolski‘s spell was punctuated by an exceptional finishing nous. However, a notoriously poor work rate dogged his first-team chances under Wenger.
Wenger now has the opportunity to replace Podolski, and although the out-of-favour Joel Campbell would be the preferred option, here are five other options, including a familiar Premier League name.
