Lukas Podolski (Koln)
The Telegraph states that an £11m deal has now been agreed by Koln and Arsenal and that the adaptable attacker should add a much needed goal-threat alternative to Robin Van Persie.
Arsenal, though, will have a clear idea of what they regard as value for money and, if the asking price is excessively inflated by the interest of Real and Inter, they will move on to other targets.
Anderlecht captain Lucas Biglia is also on Wenger’s radar. Arsenal have already agreed terms with Cologne on the £11 million signing of Germany forward Lukas Podolski and Wenger also has an interest in Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen.
