Inter completes signing of Lukas Podolski on season-long loan from Arsenal

Lukas Podolski has officially joined Inter Milan.

The German attacker joins the Italian side on a season-long loan, and has already started getting acclimated to his new teammates ahead of Tuesday's match against Juventus:

Podolski will surely see more playing time with Inter than he did at Arsenal, where he made just seven Premier League appearances - all as a substitute - for a total of 99 minutes on the campaign.

While it's unlikely manager Roberto Mancini will throw him into the fire against the league leaders after just one training session, Podolski figures to be an important member of a team that, despite sitting 11th in the table, is targeting Champions League qualification this season.
