Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski has arrived in Italy to complete his loan move to Internazionale.
The Germany forward, 29, was pictured arriving at Linate airport in Milan on Friday evening, where he was greeted by a large number of Inter fans. Podolski, who missed Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat by Southampton on Thursday due to injury, posed for photos with supporters and brandished a blue and black scarf.
He is expected to have a medical on Saturday and sign until the end of the season, with Inter believed to have an option to make the deal permanent in the summer.
The manager, Roberto Mancini, will hope Podolski can complete his move in time to feature in Tuesday’s Serie A visit to Juventus.
