Lukas Podolski is considering having an Arsenal tattoo
ART ATTACK ... hitman Lukas Podolski could add Arsenal tattoo to Cologne tribute

LUKAS PODOLSKI is hoping to make a permanent mark with Arsenal.

The striker has a tattoo of Cologne’s city emblem on his right arm in tribute to his former club.

But he admits he could be prepared to add more body art if he remains in North London.

Podolski, 27, faces Manchester City on Sunday as he looks to continue his stunning start with Arsenal after scoring in three successive games.

The £11million arrival said: “Cologne meant so much to me because I was there for a long time.

“Arsenal is a big club and maybe we can do a tattoo.

“I like this club. There may be a tattoo on my left arm in a few years!

“But we have only played five matches and I have three goals — I am very happy about the good start for me and for the team.

“We must keep fit and playing well — it is a long season and we don’t have a break in the winter like in Germany.

“So it is different for me but I like to play football and be on the pitch. When I came on the first day to the club, everyone made it easy for me.

“Not only the team around the team — the coaches and the physios — but all the staff make it easy for me. I feel happy at Arsenal. It is good for me.

“The team and Arsene make it easy. This is the style of football that I like — we play with one or two touches.”

Podolski struck again in the 2-1 Champions League win in Montpellier on Tuesday to help the Gunners fans forget former skipper Robin van Persie.

But the ex-Bayern Munich frontman admits he wanted to play alongside RVP.

Pod said: “For me it was better if he stayed — he is a world-class player and I hoped that he stayed and we played together.

“But he made a decision and it is the team of Arsenal that is important.

“We played very well against Montpellier — we must keep our heads straight and we will see what happens.”

Arsenal are tracking 16-year-old Alloa striker NOEL MAKOMBO.

The 6ft 2in French kid has been with the Scottish Division Two team for only six weeks and is awaiting his Wasps debut.

Boss Paul Hartley admitted: “Some big English clubs are watching him.”
