Lukas Podolski's agent says that Arsene Wenger wants the German to stay at Arsenal amid speculation that he is poised to join Galatasaray.

The agent of Lukas Podolski has revealed that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wanted to keep the Galatasaray-bound forward.

The 30-year-old is widely believed to be joining the Turkish giants shortly after confirming that a "lucrative" offer was placed, adding that he wants the move.

The Germany international struggled for first-team chances under Wenger last season, before enduring a lukewarm loan spell at Inter Milan, and his representative says that a lack of assurances will lead to his exit.

"We had very good talks with Wenger," Nassim Touihri told Bild.

"He wanted to keep Lukas, but couldn't give him a guarantee that he will be starter. That's why we agreed on a transfer."

Podolski, who joined the Gunners in 2012 from Koln, netted 31 times in 82 appearances for the club.
