Lukas Podolski has sealed a six-month loan move to Inter Milan from Arsenal.
The German striker arrived in Milan on Friday night to tie up the deal and wore the club’s famous blue and black colours. The 29-year-old was mobbed at the airport by Inter fans and stopped to sign autographs.
Speaking to Sky Italia, he said: “I spoke to Mancini and think he’s a great coach. He wanted me and I’m happy to be here. I know Serie A, it’s a very competitive League.
“I want to help the team get into the Champions League. Do I have a message for the fans? I am happy, Forza Inter and we hope to have a great season.”
Inter Milan are expected to pay a loan fee of £1.5million for Podolski, who has one year left on his Arsenal deal.
