Lukas Podolski hopes Germany World Cup teammate Sami Khedira can join him at Arsenal. The Real Madrid midfielder is the subject of intense interest from the Gunners this month, though negotiations over personal terms have stalled.
"Sami knows how much fun he would have with me, Mesut Özil and Per Mertesacker at Arsenal. We had a great time at the World Cup," declared Podolski to BILD.
"Everyone would be happy if he comes to join us in London.
"But this is a decision he can only make."
