Podolski rules out January Koln exit

Germany international striker Lukas Podolski wants to stay at Koln until the end of the season before deciding his future. The former Bayern Munich man has been linked with a move to Arsenal in recent weeks.

However, it appears that the striker will stay put in Germany, at least for the time being, as he is happy with the German side.


"I have always said that I have not been dictated by the pressures of time when deciding my future,” Podolski said.


"I do not believe in lightning strikes, I must be clear. I believe that I will see everything in the summer.


"With Cologne, I hope to go as far as possible."
