Former Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski has returned to Europe to sign with Turkey's Antalyaspor.

The German World Cup winner left Japanese outfit Vissel Kobe after a three-year stay and had been linked with a move to Malaysia.

Last week the former Arsenal forward visited the training ground of Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta'zim, fuelling talk of a move there.

But the 34-year-old has put pen to paper with struggling Antalyaspor, where he will wear the No 11 shirt.
