Former Cologne man raring to go with Arsenal
Lukas Podolski believes he can make an instant impact at Arsenal because his style is suited to the Premier League.The Germany international links up with the Gunners in the summer after signing for an undisclosed fee from relegated Bundesliga outfit Cologne last month.
It will be the 26-year-old's first experience of club football outside of Germany but he is confident he will be prepared for the challenge that lies ahead.
"It won't be easy as the Premier League is quite well balanced, certainly across the top six teams who are all very strong. It will be difficult," Lucas Podolski told Arsenal's official website.
"But I have joined to win titles and trophies - that is my target. I'm confident and I will do my very best to be successful with Arsenal.
"They play fast in England, score lots of goals and there are tough battles. I enjoy this style of football, so from that point of view I think I will adapt fairly quickly. I'm a player who plays in a similar style.
"The Bundesliga has done a lot of catching up in recent years; they are no longer that far away from the highest level.
"But England still has the strongest and most attractive league in my opinion. The Premier League has very good stadiums, and stronger clubs as a whole, and I'm sure I'm going to be involved in some exciting matches."
