Lukas Podolski staying at Arsenal

Germany international forward Lukas Podolski will not be leaving Arsenal. Juventus, Galatasaray and Wolfsburg had all expressed interest in the World Cup winner.

The forward looks set to play an important part in the Gunners squad this season after an injury to first choice striker Olivier Giroud.

Arsene Wenger has now confirmed that the player will be staying with Arsenal. 

"Podolski is in the squad for Wednesday (against Besiktas) and will stay with us," said Wenger.
