Lukas Podolski has dropped another hint that he could be on the way out of Arsenal due to his lack of appearances in the team this season.

The German has fallen further down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium due to the arrivals of Danny Welbeck and Alexis Sanchez in the summer, and he admits that he will have to consider his future ahead of the January transfer window.

"Definitely, I cannot be satisfied with the situation I am in at Arsenal," Podolski told Deutsche Presseagentur. "I have not been in negotiations with other clubs, nor have I told Arsenal that I am looking to leave.

"I have just said how the situation is for me. I am under contract at Arsenal and I am unable to say, 'I am off.'

"I am going to think things over soon as it's winter time."

Podolski has not started a Premier League game yet this season.
