Hamza Hamzaoglu: 'Galatasaray want Lukas Podolski'

Galatasaray manager Hamza Hamzaoglu says that Lukas Podolski is on the club's shortlist of transfer targets.

Galatasaray manager Hamza Hamzaoglu has said that Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski is on the club's list of potential transfer targets this summer.

The 30-year-old has been linked with an exit from the Gunners after failing to secure a regular starting spot.

Podolski was loaned out to Inter Milan in the second half of last season, but he made just eight starts for the Italians and did not do enough to earn a permanent switch.

The German has since claimed that he will return to the Emirates next season, but Turkish champions Galatasaray have now revealed their interest in bringing him to Istanbul.

"Podolski and [Andre] Gignac are both on out shortlist," Hamzaoglu told NTV Sport. "We have not yet entered direct talks."

Podolski did not start a game for Arsenal in the Premier League last season.
