Arsenal target Podolski admits offers are coming in

Arsenal target Lukas Podolski has admitted he is considering his future but will wait to hear what hometown club Cologne have planned before making any decision.

The Germany international scored both goals as Cologne salvaged a 2-2 draw at Stuttgart yesterday and, afterwards, the coveted forward said that his options are still open.

"I will talk to Cologne before anybody else and see what they have to say," he told ZDF television.

"Of course I am getting plenty of offers and I expect more of them to arrive to me, to my agent or to my club in the coming weeks.

"But I repeat, I must first talk to Cologne."

Podolski still has 18 months left to run on his contract with Cologne, but after a turbulent few months, he has frequently hinted that he would like to move to a bigger club at the prime of his career.

That could become reality next season, especially as Arsenal are known to be keen on the striker .

Podolski, however, is just taking things as they come.

"I have become more relaxed about things in general," he said.

"There is no rush.

"I will just sit down and discuss things with Cologne and then we will have to see."
