Lukas Podolski may have been told by Arsene Wenger that he can look for another club, but the World Cup winner says he is prepared to play for the Gunners next season.

Podolski, 30, struggled to make an impression on loan at Inter Milan this year - scoring just one goal in 19 appearances.

The former Bayern Munich striker has been linked to several clubs including Galatasaray, but the Turkish side dropped their interest in him last week.

Speaking at press conference ahead of Germany's friendly against the USA, Podolski commented: "There will be speculations about my future. It looks like I will return to London. But things can change in the upcoming weeks or even days. If need be, I will be at Arsenal next season. It's a great club, and I think that I can help the team."

He added: "I am still young, in spite of the big 30 now. I still very much feel like playing football. Let's see what happens. I will not vanish from the football world."
