Germany boss Joachim Low has encouraged Lukas Podolski to seek a move from Arsenal.
The attacker has found himself sidelined this season.
"I have had a chat with Lukas about his situation at club level," said Low.
"I think he will need to think things over. It's quite necessary for Lukas to pick up regular action."
