Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini confirms interest in Arsenal's Lukas Podolski

Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini has confirmed that the club are interested in signing Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a move to Italy after falling down the pecking order under Gunners boss Arsene Wenger.

Podolski has hinted that he may leave the Emirates in January, and now Mancini has fuelled the rumours further by admitting that Inter are keeping track of the German.

"Podolski is a good player," Mancini told Sport Mediaset. "He is part of a list of players that we are following, so we will see what will come of it."

The forward has made just seven appearances in the Premier League this season.
