Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski has joined Inter Milan on loan until the end of the season.

The German international has been with the Gunners since 2012, netting 31 times in 82 appearances for the London club.

However, the 29-year-old has found first-team chances limited this season and has been strongly linked with a move to Italy in recent weeks.

That deal has now been completed, with Podolski due to spend the remainder of the 2014-15 campaign at San Siro.

"Everyone at Arsenal would like to wish Lukas the best for his time in Serie A," read a statement on Arsenal's official website.

Podolski has made just two starts for Arsenal this season.
