London strategist Arsene Wenger refused to comment on rumors that striker Lukas Podolski will join the club after the season.

According to the BBC and "Guardian", the striker turned down a lucrative offer from the Russian team "Anzhi" and agreed to wear the English team's jersey from the summer.

"I have nothing to say about Podolski. If we sign a new player, we will definitely announce it," - said the Frenchman laconically.

Arsenal will pay 13 million euros for the footballer who scored 16 goals this season in the German championship, and his salary will be 120 thousand euros per week.
