City and Spurs keen on German

Germany star Lukas Podolski has confirmed that both Manchester City and Tottenham are interested in signing him. The striker has struggled to break into the Bayern Munich first team since Jurgen Klinsmann took charge last summer. Podolski is not very happy with life in Munich and has made no secret of his desire to leave the Allianz Arena. A host of clubs from across Europe are now ready to try and seal a deal for the 23-year-old. Speaking to German magazine Bunte, Podolski has revealed that as well as interest from England, Italian giants Roma and a host of clubs within the Bundesliga want him.

Not happy

"I need to play, I cannot continue to sit on the bench. I'm just not happy in Munich anymore," Podolski confirmed. "I think it is time for me to leave Bayern so that I can do my job, which is playing football. I feel ready for an experience overseas and that of course includes Italy. "I know Roma are interested, but so are several other sides. In Germany the likes of Hamburg, Cologne, Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund. In England I'm of interest to Manchester City and Tottenham." City have the ability to out-bid most sides, but Podolski insisted money would not be the biggest factor in his decision. "My choice will be purely a sporting one, so money won't make me change my mind. My only desire is to play football, preferably for a big club," he said.
