Lukas Podolski wants showdown talks with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.
The People says Podolski has demanded showdown talks with Wenger over his Arsenal future.
The World Cup-winning Germany forward has yet to start a Premier League game this season, but Gunners boss Wenger has declared his wish to keep the 29-year-old at the Emirates.
However Podolski said he will leave in January unless he gets more first-team action.
"I don't like sitting on the bench. I am 29 and I want to play. I will speak with the manager and then see what happens," he said.
