Lukas Podolski last night claimed he can be three strikers rolled into one for Arsenal next season.
Versatile German striker Podolski, Arsenal’s £10.9m signing, said: “In Cologne, I played as a centre forward and also as a playmaker.
“In the national team I play wide on the left, I honestly don’t mind where I play, as long as it’s in a forward position. But it’s always the coach who decides where you play and I will do my best wherever I play.
“I had a very good season with Cologne, I played well and as a result I’m now going to Euro 2012 in the summer with lots of confidence. After that, I will be joining up with my new team mates at Arsenal and it is my goal just to do my best and be successful there.”
