Lukas Podolski: 5 Players Arsenal Should Target to Replace Departing Forward

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 Podolskiarrived 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.”
