Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski has revealed the reason why he stayed with Arsenal this summer.
The German says that enquiries were made for his services, but no offers were concrete.
He stated “A move away from Arsenal did not materialise because I had no offers to move.
“There were enquiries from German clubs, but I am from Cologne, and would have been tough for me to represent any other Bundesliga side.”
Podolski is now keen to fight for his future at the Gunners, and spoke highly about manager Arsene Wenger.
He said “He (Wenger) has stressed that he is putting trust in me and my abilities. I do not have to fear anyone at Arsenal.
I am back in training for two and a half weeks.. if I am at 100 per cent, I do not fear competition for places. “
