Lukas Podolski also has only two years remaining on his contract and, following Arsenal's January interest in Schalke's Julian Draxler, his future is uncertain. Podolski is not happy at being substituted so regularly this season and, despite starting on Saturday, he lasted only 61 minutes. Arsene Wenger, however, does regard Podolski as the best finisher at Arsenal.

Asked on Saturday about his future, Podolski said: "I'm here today. I'm happy at this club, I played so all things are good."

Podolski sought out Wenger on the pitch during Saturday's celebrations and drenched his manager with champagne. "He needed it," he said.

"After nine years, he needs a little drink. When you wait nine years, especially for the fans, it's something special. Everywhere there was pressure about Arsenal winning nothing, When you win something, you must celebrate, then you focus on next season."
