Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski has admitted that he is "honoured" to be linked with Juventus.

However, the 27-year-old Germany international insists that he is not contemplating joining the Italian champions.

"There are always offers, I don't have any influence on that," he told Bild. "Of course I feel honoured.

"But the fact is, I have a contract with Arsenal. There's no reason to leave the club. However, in the football-business a lot of things are conceivable."

Podolski joined Arsenal from Koln last summer.
