BERLIN: Cologne and Germany winger Lukas Podolski will join Arsenal for next season, the Bundesliga club said on Monday.
Podolski, the relegation-threatened side's leading scorer this term, has long been a target for several top European clubs and had a year left on his Cologne contract.
The two sides agreed to keep financial details quiet, Cologne said in a statement.
