Lukas Podolski is on his way to Milan to tie up a loan deal which would see him join up with Roberto Mancinis Inter until the end of the season. The 29-year-old was likely to feature in Arsenals FA Cup tie against Hull on Saturday but looks to be ready to sign a deal costing Inter £1.5million for a loan deal until the end of the season. The unsettled Germany forward has one year on his Arsenal contract at the end of this season and may not return if his loan is successful. The German has flourished in the Champions League, scoring against Anderlecht and Galatasaray Podolski missed Arsenals 2-0 defeat to Southampton on New Years Day due to injury, and Arsene Wenger revealed that the club had received an improved bid from the Italian giants - he called Inters previous offer farcical. He has featured in thirteen of the Gunners games this season but only managed to find the net three times, all of which came in the Champions League. Podolski has flourished in Europe this season but has been given limited opportunities in the Premier League. Podolski would be joining up with a struggling Inter side who currently sit eleventh in Serie A and have only managed one win in the league since the beginning of November.
