Lukas Podolski has thrown a wobbler at Arsenal this week. The Mirror says Podolski stormed out of Arsenal's training ground on Wednesday after becoming increasingly frustrated with life at the Emirates.

Podolski did not train at the Gunners' Hertfordshire HQ after complaining of a groin injury and he has not travelled with his team-mates for the New Year's Day game at Southampton.

But it is understood that the 29-year-old forward was furious because his future is uncertain. He fears Arsenal are blocking a potential move to Inter Milan.

Podolski is on £100,000-a-week and the Londoners are not prepared to let him go on the cheap - they may sell for around £6m though, and want a permanent deal rather than a loan.

Galatasaray and Atletico Madrid are also watching developments but Inter are in pole position as Podolski seeks more regular football.
