Newcastle are lining up the shock signing of Arsenal’s Lukas Podolski, according to reports.

Podolski is due to return to London this summer after a disappointing loan spell at Inter Milan, but Arsenal are expected to then sell.

A host of clubs from all over Europe have already expressed an interest, but reports say Newcastle have emerged as a realistic option for the German World Cup winner.

Arsenal apparently want about £10million for Podolski but know it will be difficult to get that given his huge £100,000-a-week salary.
