Podolski To Get A Second Chance At The Emirates

Podolski To Get A Second Chance At The Emirates

Even though Lukas Podolski seemingly had one foot out the door, it seems that Giroud’s injury will prevent the German international from leaving for at least three months. Wenger is currently out of options and may well have to rely on the fresh World Cup winner to perform as a box striker. With the transfer window just a day away, the Gunners are once again in trouble because of injury. Despite changing up the medical staff this summer, things still seem complicated on Emirates. According to Metro, Giroud will be out of three months which is very unsettling considering the incident which will keep him on the bench happened after just two Premier League games.

Podolski was linked to Wolfsburg and Juventus just a few days back. It was somewhat expected that he will leave until the end of August considering the fact that he failed to adapt in his two years spent in London. Even though Wenger now has Sanogo and Campbell to replace Giroud, the two youngsters still have a lot to learn before reaching the same level as the Frenchman. Podolski on the other hand has a lot of experience and better morale for competitions like the Champions League where Arsenal hope to advance further than they did last year.


The 29 year old forward’s situation has probably been determined by the Giroud injury. According to the boss, the Gunners are not looking to sign a striker similar to Giroud as he is confident he has enough cover but after watching the strikers’ performances today vs Premier League new boys Leicester City where Sanogo started and Podolski played for about 15-20mins you would have to say the boss may be mistaken.
