Podolski hints at Arsenal exit

Lukas Podolski has hinted that he may have to leave Arsenal to find regular first team football, according to Sky Sports.

The Germany international moved to the Emirates Stadium in the summer of 2012, and has gone on to make seventy-three appearances in all competitions so far, scoring twenty-eight goals.

However, his only start this season came in the 2-1 defeat to Southampton in the Capital One Cup, with the 29 year old reduced to just substitute appearances in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Danny Welbeck’s arrival on transfer deadline day saw the former Koln man fall further down the pecking order, and his opportunities are likely to be even more limited when Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott return from injury.

Fresh from thumping Galatasaray 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, Arsene Wenger’s men travel to Chelsea this weekend and can be backed at 17/4 for the win.
