The Germany international revealed on Wednesday that he is keen to complete a move to the Turkish giants, having spent the majority of last season on loan at Inter Milan and is expected to sign a four-year deal.
His representative, Nassim Touihri, says that Wenger attempted to convince Podolski to remain at the Emirates Stadium, but has confirmed a move is now imminent.
“We had very good talks with Wenger,” he told Bild. “He wanted to keep Lukas, but couldn’t give him a guarantee that he will be starter. That’s why we agreed on a transfer.”
Podolski has made 82 appearances for Arsenal since joining the club from FC Koln, scoring 31 goals.
