Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski is finalising his loan move to Inter Milan today.

Podolski touched down at Linate airport at 21.05 GMT and was interviewed by Sky Sport Italia.

"I spoke to Mancini and think he's a great Coach. He wanted me and I'm happy to be here. I know Serie A, it's a very competitive League.

"I want to help the team get into the Champions League. Do I have a message for the fans? I am happy, Forza Inter and we hope to have a great season."

It's reported Podolski agreed to take a pay cut in order to help push the initial loan deal through.
