Koln admit Podolski exit likely

Cologne coach Stale Solbakken has admitted that Germany international striker Lukas Podolski is likely to quit the club at the end of the season. Podolski has been repeatedly linked with a move to Arsenal.

Tottenham and Fiorentina are also believed to be interested in the striker, who has bagged 15 goals already this year.


"Lukas is currently an FC Cologne player," coach Solbakken was quoted as saying on Der Spiegel's website. "We know that he will be until the end of the season. Then we have to see what happens."
