Galatasaray rule out Lukas Podolski move

Galatasaray manager Hamza Hamzaoglu has ruled out a move for Arsenal exile Lukas Podolski.

The 29-year-old is seemingly out of favour at the Emirates Stadium, having spent the second half of the 2014-15 season on loan at Inter Milan.

Inter opted out of signing the German World Cup winner on a permanent deal, while Werder Bremen also dismissed suggestions that they were planning a bid.

Podolski, who scored one goal in 19 appearances at the San Siro, has now been dealt a further blow, with news that Galatasaray are no longer interested in his services.

Hamzaoglu is quoted by TRT as saying: "Podolski is not on our radar right now. He was in the winter but not right now."

Former Bayern Munich forward Podolski is out of contract in North London next summer.
