The frontman, 29 was left out the opening four matches of the season after Germany’s World Cup-winning campaign in Brazil.

He has been an unused substitute four times in Arsenal’s last eight matches and has only completed 90 minutes once. That came in the Capital One Cup defeat to Southampton.

Podolski, who is out of contact in June 2016, did not feature in Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The German told television station RTL: “I am a full-blooded player, a street player and I love competition.

“If I don’t have this competition every weekend then a change must occur.”

When asked if he would see out his current deal, he replied: “We will have to see. But it is certainly something one has to think about.

“I have been with Germany a long time and have gone through phases where I did not play a lot at club level but was convincing with the national team. That is no problem.”

Starsport revealed back in March how Inter were chasing Podolski.
