BBC are running it on their main sports page.
Hopefully he's not a replacement for Van Persie but a signing of intent to convince him to stay. Tbh I don't know if he's any good or not but his record's not bad. Don't see the point of writing him off.More updates. " Arsenal confirm to @bbcsport_david they have agreed a deal to sign Lukas Podolski from Cologne at the end of the season #afc"

http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...-Podolski-dealArsenal have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Cologne striker Lukas Podolski at the end of the season.Widespread reports emanating from Germany suggest the Gunners have lined up a swoop to bring Podolskito the Emirates in the summer.
The fee is believed to be in the region of £10.9million, with Podolski expected to sign a four-year contract in North London.
The Gunners have been linked with a move for Podolski for the last few months as Arsene Wengerlooks to bolster his attacking options for next season.
Arsenaldefender Per Mertesacker recently admitted his Germany team-mate has been asking him about life in the capital.
Very interested
"He has been very interested in the last few weeks and sent me a text message or two," Mertesacker toldSky Germany.
"I just responded to him positively, we have a good club here and everyone here has a positive opinion of 'Poldi'."
Despite being only 26, Podolski has a wealth of experience having made 95 appearances for Germany and played in two World Cups.
Colognehave refused to confirm that Podolski will be leaving the club this summer, but it seems increasingly likely his next destination is set to be Arsenal.
Hopefully Merts works his magic on Goetze next.

No I just want us to sign better quality, you guys are fooled by the name. Sorry if I don't want a player who could'nt demonstrate the mental toughness to fight for his place at a top club, instead pouts, and has a sense of entitlement. And eventually fukks off back to the pub team that he came from.
He's Sunderland, Fulham level player
