Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski plays down Juventus link

Lukas Podolski is very comfortable at Arsenal and has no plans to seek a move away from London.

Podolski has already scored eight Premier League goals since joining Arsenal from Koln last summer, but he has only managed to complete the full 90 minutes in six of his 25 league appearances.

Recent reports have suggested Juventus are interested in signing the 27-year-old, but he insists he has not held talks with the Serie A giants, or any other club.

“I want to say two things. Firstly, I cannot help it that clubs are interested in me. And there are always people behind the scenes who want to float something in this business,” he told Bild.

“Secondly, any interest makes me proud because it is a recognition of my performance in London. It is unlikely [that I will leave] because, at the club and in the town, I feel really comfortable.

“As a player you have peace and quiet. I appreciate that very much. Therefore, I can honestly say: I am not preparing for any change.”
