Wenger denies Podolski talk
Arsenal boss insists Germany striker has not undergone medical
Arsene Wenger has denied the latest reports that Germany international Lukas Podolski has agreed to join Arsenal.
The Cologne striker is widely expected to make the move to the North London club this summer, with claims on Friday that he had already undergone a medical with the Gunners.
Wenger was quick to play down the current conjecture and claimed to be in the dark over any confirmation of the much-anticipated switch, with a fee of £10.9million having been mooted.
The 26-year-old, who has won an impressive 95 caps for his country and played in two World Cups, has been similarly coy over his next move, with Wenger admitting that any transfer is dependent on the will of the former Bayern Munich striker.
Decision
"Nothing is done. No, he has not had a medical," Wenger told the club's official website.
"I don't master the timing [of any announcement] because that does not just rely on us. It could happen soon, it could happen later, I don't know.
"It is always a concern [that someone else could come in for him]. The speed in which you do things is important, but at the end of the day it is always the player who makes the decision.
"It is about how much they want to join you."
