COLOGNE winger Lukas Podolski will join Arsenal for next season, the two clubs said yesterday, ending months of speculation regarding the future of one of Germany's most exciting players.
The 26-year-old, the relegation-threatened side's leading scorer this term with 18 Bundesliga goals, has long been a target for several top European clubs and had a year left on his Cologne contract. "This transfer gives me the opportunity to play for a top European club on an international level," said Podolski, who joined Cologne as a 10-year-old and returned to the club after a hapless three years at Bayern Munich from 2006-09. "I did not decide against Cologne but for a great chance regarding my own sports development," he said.
