In response to a recent interview in which Lukas Podolski suggested he would rather play centrally, as part of a front two instead of his current left wing (after a fashion) position his national team coach Joachim Loew had this to say:
'He can play this role, but in my opinion he is better behind a central point or on the left side to bear right. At the front is not his ideal position.'

'I’d rather play centrally up front. On the left I have to do a lot of defensive work, constantly run up and down. I am not a classical winger.
It [the move to Arsenal] was a change, a different country, a new club. I found a good deal indeed. But I demand more and I want to play even better.'

And isn't coming to Arsenal.

He's a Gooner
Despite this, Zaha is a childhood Arsenal fan and his twitter account reveals a number of tweets about how Arsenal are doing. He is also seemingly friends with fellow England U-21 international Benik Afobe, who is of course an Arsenal player on loan to Bolton.

As some of you may know, Arsenal staged a 'Twitter takeover' yesterday, in which a selection of the club's players answered questions posed on Twitter.
Naturally it was a rather tame affair, with Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud receiving questions like 'what's your favourite sport besides football?', "Who has a harder shot, you or Cazorla?", and somewhat worryingly: "Are all French men so beautiful?" That particular questioner clearly hasn't met Samir Nasri.
