Lukas Podolski: Arsenal star flies to Milan for talks with Inter
Lukas Podolski moved a step closer to leaving Arsenal after travelling to Italy for talks with Inter Milan.The Germany forward was greeted by fans at Milan airport and wore an Inter scarf as Arsenal consider an improved offer from the Serie A side.
Podolski, 29, has failed to start a Premier League match this season and missed the New Year's Day defeat at Southampton with a "tight groin".
The World Cup winner has scored 31 goals for the Gunners in 82 games.
He said: "I can't express in words my gratitude towards Arsenal fans for all they have done for me in my years in London.
"Please know my heart always holds a place for you.
I've loved every minute playing for Arsenal and I hope I have left my mark on the club and fans alike. Hopefully we shall meet again."Podolski was an £11m signing from Cologne in 2012 but has made just 39 starts in the league under Wenger.Podolski was an unused substitute in Arsenal's 2-1 win at West Ham on 28 December, with his last action for the North London club coming in the 4-1 victory over Newcastle on 13 December.
