Lukas Podolski denies Arsenal reports

Lukas Podolski has denied reports that he has already agreed to join Arsenal in a deal worth £10.9m.

The Germany international has been continually linked with the North London club, despite manager Arsene Wenger claiming that no deal had been made for the player.

Podolski's current club, Cologne, were also quiet on the subject, and now the player himself has insisted that there is no agreement in place.

"Contrary to the reports of the past few days, nothing has been decided yet," said the striker after being sent off in his side's 1-0 win over Hertha Berlin on Saturday.

"If there is something to report, I'll let you know."

Podolski is currently in his second spell at Cologne, having moved from Bayern Munich in January 2009.
