Star man: Lukas Podolski could be the answer to Arsene
Wenger's prayers
Arsenal are ready to bid
£10million for Germany star Lukas
Podolski.
The 26-year-old Polish-born striker has 18 months left on
his contract at Cologne and is in the form of his life, having
scored 14 goals in 16 Bundesliga games this season. He is expected
to be a key man for Germany at Euro 2012.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has one of the biggest
transfer funds in Europe at present, with about £40m still left
over from the summer sales of Cesc Fabregas, Samir Nasri and Gael
Clichy.
The club are also set to receive around £25m from the sale
of property near the Emirates Stadium, meaning Wenger can bid big
this month.
