It has been rumoured in the Mirror that Lukas Podolski stormed out of training on New Year’s Eve. It was believed by the Mirror that Podolski had had enough of not getting first team football. This situation was then apparently made worse when he believed that Arsenal were trying to block a move away for him to get first team football.

However, Podolski has took to Twitter to tell the correct story and somewhat put the Mirror in their place.

Podolski has confirmed that he is injured within the brief statement which the Mirror did get correct. However, this is refreshing to see from a member of Arsenal football club. These lies had the potential to ruin Podolski’s time at the club and may have forced him out but he has made it clear that he is committed and loves the club.

This has been evident in his three years at the club and I myself am a big Lukas Podolski fan. He has become a fans favourite with the way that he has shown his love for this great club. Let’s hope he stay as this Arsenal squad is considerable stronger with him present. Podolski offers us something different, a deadly finisher who is not afraid to shoot.
