Lukas Podolski confirms he is happy at Arsenal & in London with a retweet on Twitter

If proof were needed that social networks now play a big role in transfer gossip, Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski confirmed this on Twitter on Sunday afternoon.

This morning, Podolski was linked with a move from Arsenal to Borussia Dortmund by Charlie Wyett in The Sunday Sun.

Just hours later, Podolski retweeted a Tweet from Jan Aage Fjortoft, the former Swindon and Middlesbrough striker, currently a pundit on German TV.

Podolski therefore confirmed he was happy at Arsenal and in London with a simple retweet on Twitter which should ensure the transfer gossip now stops, right?!

Unless this is all a ploy to make sure Arsene Wenger plays him for the full 90 minutes!

Reports in England about @podolski10 to Dortmund. Can’t see that one happen. Wrong signal from Wenger selling. Player seems to love London — Jan Aage Fjortoft (@JanAageFjortoft) June 2, 2013
