Lukas Podolski backs Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger after poor run: 'I don't know who the guy is that can replace him, he is Arsenal'

Lukas Podolski insists his former club would find it hard to replace Arsene Wenger because 'he is Arsenal'.

The 31-year-old forward, who marked his 130th and final Germany appearance with a stunning winner against England on Wednesday, played under Wenger during a three-year spell at Arsenal before joining current club Galatasaray in 2015.

And Podolski believes Wenger, whose future in north London is uncertain, is going to be a hard act to follow at the Emirates.
