PodolskiLukas Podolski looks set for the Emirates exit door after telling Galatasaray they are willing to sell the German forward, but not Joel Campbell.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Turkish outfit want both Podolski and Campbell and have prepared a £22 million offer for the pair.

However, Arsenal are only willing to let the German leave as Arsene Wenger sees Campbell in his first-team plans this season.

Although a fan favourite and thought to be happy with life at Arsenal, Podolski has found first-team opportunities hard to come by since his arrival from Cologne three-years ago.

Galatasaray previously expressed an interest in the 29-year-old but the Gunners refused to sell.

But the Turkish club could finally get their hands on Podolski following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez and others ahead of him in the pecking order.

Inter Milan and AC Milan are also reportedly interested, but Galatasaray appear to be taking the first steps to securing his signature.

Although a great character to have in the dressing room, Podolski’s time looks done at Arsenal.

The Polish-born forward still has two-years left to run on his current deal at the Emirates but Galatasaray appear keen and could offer Arsenal a generous fee to get him on their books.

If we can get around £10-12 million for Podolski’s sale then that would be great business done on our part.
