Lukas Podolski could join a Turkish team in the summer

The German World Cup winner completed a loan to Inter Milan in January after failing to break into the first-team at the Gunners.

Galatasaray failed to land the 29-year-old over the summer, but his agent claims he would be open to a move to Turkey's Super Lig when the transfer window reopens.

“Anything could happen,” Ali Pektas said. “Last summer he could have moved to Galatasaray, but it never materialised. Every summer Lukas and I go on holiday to Turkey.

A transfer to Turkey, why not?

“For the moment he’s on loan at Inter, and when it ends at the end of the season he could return to Arsenal, where he still has a year on his contract.

“With regard to his future, all I can say is that anything could happen, even a transfer to Turkey. Why not?

“He appreciates it [Turkish football] a lot, and he wants to keep playing at a high level.”
