Arsenal forward, Lukas Podolski, has released a statement saying farewell to the fans of the North London club.
The German international is in Italy completing a loan-deal with Inter Milan, which will see him stay there until the end of the season, which is when he is likely to leave the club permanently.
Podolski, who has struggled for first-team football this season, was growing frustrated with life at Arsenal and after holding talks with Arsene Wenger, he was allowed to leave the club and will shortly finalise the loan deal to the San Siro.
With the deal set to be completed, Podolski posted this message on his Instagram account: ‘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 & I hope I have left my mark on the club & fans alike.
‘Hopefully we shall meet again! COYG’
