Lucas Podolski to join Inter on six months loan

Sport flash: Lucas Podoski joins Inter on six months loan
Arsenal and Germany star has arrived in Milan to a joyous
welcome from the club's supporters and will undergo a medical
on Saturday
Lukas Podolski has spoken of his
delight as he closes in on a six-
month loan deal with Inter.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said
the Serie A club had tabled a "more
serious" bid for the Germany
international on Thursday after slamming their opening offer as
"farcical" and the two sides have now reached an agreement
which will see the forward join the Serie A side for the rest of the
season.
The attacker landed in Milan on Friday night to a warm welcome
from a large crowd of Nerazzurri fans and will look to seal the
move after undergoing a medical on Saturday.
Mancini has underlined the qualities which he feels Podolski
could bring to San Siro and the 29-year-old is now keen to help
his new side qualify for the Champions League.
"I am very happy to be joining Inter," Podolski told reporters.
"I expect so much from this adventure. I know the Italian league
very well. We are aiming to qualify for the Champions League
and to win in the Europa League.
"I have spoken with Mancini and I think he is a great coach."
Podolski has been repeatedly vocal with his desire to leave
Arsenal since the summer after failing to start a Premier League
game this season.
