It was a mistake to go to Inter: Podolski
Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski feels that joining Inter Milan on loan was a mistake and said that he wishes to be an important part of Arsenal again. The German striker who had spent the second half of the season with Inter is linked with a move to Turkey with reports suggesting that Galatasaray are interested in signing him.
Podolski says he now sees his mistake of pushing for a transfer in January and says that he is ready to fight for his place in Arsenal's first team. The 30-year-old says that he loves the London club.
“I’ve always felt comfortable there. With the fans, with the team and also with the manager. I’m going back to play, I have to say my qualities suit Arsenal," he told Bild, the German newspaper.
“Inter? Last season went how it went. English football is the one which best suits my style but I know how suddenly everything can change.”
“I have characteristics to help different teams, but it was a mistake to go to Inter with no redemption clauses.”
“In football there are times when everything doesn’t work out for the best. You’re not always playing as a starter and you just have to accept the decisions and work on your own game. That’s what I did but now I’m looking forward,” he concluded.
