Inter Milan are closing on a deal for Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski.
The Daily Express says reports in the Italian press claim that a deal has almost been agreed between the two clubs in a bid to solve Inter's attacking difficulties.
The deal will consist of a season-long loan with Arsenal asking for a fairly sizeable £5million fee, but Inter are only prepared to pay £3m.
Podolski has yet to play a 90-minute Premier League match this season, and is clearly irked at having to warm the bench for Arsene Wenger.
