Arsenal boss Wenger insists Podolski will not leave

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists Lukas Podolski is not for sale.

VfL Wolfsburg and Galatasaray have publicly expressed interest in the Germany international, who has also flirted with a return to FC Cologne this summer.

However, Wenger insists Podolski will be in his squad for tonight's Champions League qualifier with Besiktas.

"Lukas Podolski is on the team for Wednesday's game and will stay with us," he said yesterday.

Podolski's status at Arsenal has changed this week following a serious injury suffered by Olivier Giroud.
