Podolski said: ‘Money is not the most important thing for me. What is crucial is the development of my game.’
He impressed Wenger in Cologne’s pre-season friendly against the Gunners last summer and the Frenchman has sent chief scout Steve Rowley on a number of missions to watch him ever since. Podolski has scored 16 goals in 22 club games this season and netted three times to help Germany qualify for Euro 2012.
在去年的季前友谊赛上，波多尔斯基的表现给温格留下了深刻的印象，法国人立即派出首席球探Steve Rowley对其进行了一系列的观察。本赛季迄今为止，波多尔斯基已在22场俱乐部的比赛中打入16球，并在国家队中三次破门帮助德国闯入2012年欧洲杯决赛圈。
