Lukas Podolski, Arsenal's forward is set to join Inter Milan on New Year's Day, according to reports, which means that Podolski will be on loan for the rest of the season after their Southampton match on New Year's Day.

It was reported by The Telegraph that Arsenal and Arsene Wenger along with Inter officials have met on Saturday to negotiate a deal concerning the load of Podolski. It was reported that the deal involved an amount of 1.5 million pounds for the rest of the six months, while Podolski is on loan. The Gunners would be paid for such amount, which can be made permanent by the end of the season.

The Arsenal boss said that there is yet nothing concrete about any transfer concerning Podolski. According to Wenger, they are expecting Mesut Ozil's come back in the beginning of January anyway.

There have been speculations about Wenger being undecided until now on what to do with Lukas Podolski. In fact, the Arsenal's boss stated that there are no concrete plans about Podolski's transfer even on loan for six months, despite Inter officials and Wenger's meeting to negotiate a deal about the Arsenal forward's upcoming loan transfer.

Podolski had spoken of his frustration with his situation at Arsenal over the weekend. The German has not started a Premier League game for the club this season. The indecisiveness of the Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has definitely caused Lukas Podolski's frustrations.

According to Podolski, he is no 20 or 21 years old anymore. He is not up nor satisfied to wait for any chance. He told Super Express that he is already 29 and that as of this stage in his career, all he wants is to play, play, and play.

Podolski has even questioned himself about what more he can do that he has not yet done. For the Arsenal forward, he has already played in the Champions League and has in fact earned the team two goals. Thereafter, there's nothing much to back him up because during the rest of the match, which was against Newcastle, he mainly stayed in the bench.
