Lukas Podolski to join Juventus on loan

Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski looks set to join Juventus on a season-long loan, according to a report.

The German international signed for the Gunners from FC Cologne in the summer of 2012, and despite maintaining a decent scoring record, he has struggled to cement a regular spot in the first-team.

According to The Express, the World Cup winner who was left out of the matchday squad for the trip to Everton, could wrap up a temporary switch to the Serie A Champions in the upcoming week.

Podolski has scored 28 goals in 63 games for the Gunners so far.
