Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger sys Lukas Podolski will be better for his first season in England.

The Germany international joined last summer from FC Cologne.

Wenger said: "He has done well.

"He also had the European Championships last summer and came back without a real rest. Overall if you look at his numbers he had quite a good season - not through the middle, on the flanks.

"But I'm convinced through the middle he can have a great goalscoring record."
