Lukas Podolski expects Arsenal stay

German forward Lukas Podolski has insisted that he could remain at Arsenal next season, as he still has much to offer to the club.

The World Cup winner was shipped out on loan to Inter Milan last winter, having struggled to earn himself a first-team place at the Emirates.

However, the Nerazzurri opted against a permanent deal for the German international, and he is expected to return to the Gunners this summer.

Podolski has now ruled out a return to the Bundesliga, as he feels that he could have a say on the club's progress next season.

Werder Bremen have been linked with the player's services in recent weeks.
