Lukas Podolski has revealed that he will wait until the end of the current campaign before making a decision on his Arsenal future.
The Germany international joined Inter Milan on loan earlier this month following a frustrating season at the Emirates Stadium which saw him fail to make a single Premier League start.
Having been given a lifeline by Roberto Mancini at Inter, Podolski admits that he will hold talks with his parent club in the summer to see where his future lies.
"Not finding space at Arsenal, I had to change environments and I chose Inter; one of the top 10 teams in the world," the 29-year-old told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I do not depend on anyone, either as a player or as a man. At the end of the season I will be back to talk with Arsenal and we'll see what to do."
Podolski scored 20 top-flight goals for Arsenal upon making a £12m move from FC Koln in 2012.
