Luka Podolski wants to discuss his future at Arsenal with manager Arsene Wenger after being left on the bench during the Gunners’ 201 home defeat by Manchester united.
The 29-year-old has started just one Premier League game so far this season, with the north London side enduring their worst start in 32 years.
Arsenal are currently 15 points behind leaders Chelsea and lie in eight =h place in the Premier League after just three wins.
Podolski told German publication Kicker: ‘I have to try to talk with Arsene Wenger. I want a fair chance.
‘I love London, I like the club, but I do not like the situation. I’m not a clown.’
Despite Arsenal’s on-field problems the German was all smiles as he enjoyed a day out at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park on Sunday, even managing to joke about his current situation.
The out-of-favour forward posted a picture of himself at the attraction on Twitter with the message: ‘Enjoyed my rainy Sunday afternoon at Winter Wonderland with the family’ #hydepark #gunnersumbrella #familytime #dayout #EnjoyLife #Poldi #BreakFromTheBench
The former Bayern striker has made his feelings clear that he is not prepared to sit on the bench much longer, refusing to rule out a move away from the Emirates stadium in the upcoming transfer window.
