Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski has revealed he is set to return to north London from his loan spell at Inter Milan at the end of the season. Podolski has also denied that he left north London on bad terms with The Gunners. The German agreed a six-month loan deal with the Serie A side in January. The 29-year-old further made a controversial statement with regards to Arsene Wenger, claiming the Frenchman had shown him a lack of respect.
Podolski however expects to return to the Premier League side when his deal at the San Siro expires and has insisted he has no problems with Wenger. ESPN quoted via Kicker, the World Cup winning Geman saying,
“As things stand now, I will return to London in the summer.”
“There will be talks in March or April because the season ends in May.”
“I had a great time in London, even though the last half-year wasn’t satisfying from a sporting perspective.”
“But it’s a fact that I never had problems there neither with the club, nor with Arsene Wenger, or even the fans. All I bemoaned was that once the move was sealed there were no farewell words from the club.”
“But in spite of that I had two-and-a-half nice years, from a sporting and from a personal perspective.”
“I am proud to have ended Arsenal’s trophy drought with my goals in the FA Cup and to have won this trophy as a German in England.”
