Germany forward Lukas Podolski was a highly rated football player coming from Bundesliga at the time he joined Arsenal in 2012, but unfortunately in the sport of football, things can change in a snap of a finger.

With his loan at Internazionale Milano ending up as a complete mess, Podolski told German newspaper Bild that he has no interest in coming back to the Italian ball club, even calling his sting there as a mistake.

"Inter? Last season went how it went. English football is the one which best suits my style but I know how suddenly everything can change. Podolski told Bild via Evening Standard.co.uk "I have characteristics to help different teams but it was a mistake to go to Inter with no redemption clauses."

He was sent on loan at Internazionale Milano last season during the January transfer window, but he didn't live up to the level the team expected to. He really struggled a lot at the Giuseppe MEazza last season.

He made only 1 goal in 17 league appearances and didn't show any good impressions during his time at the Serie A club. Furthermore, Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini isn't interested to acquire him permanently, which means he will return to the Emirates for pre-season training.

Despite this setback, Podolski is determined to resume his career with Arsenal as he felt more comfortable at the North London club, with the fans, teams and their manager Arsene Wenger, believing his has the qualities to become a solid contributor for the Gunners next season.

"In football there are times when everything doesn't work out for the best. You're not always playing as a starter and you just have to accept the decisions and work on your own game. That's what I did but now I'm looking forward," according to Podolski.

Still, his future with the Gunners is anything but certain as reports indicated that Arsenal is looking to add more firepower on their roster.  The North London club might find a way to sell him with a reasonable transfer fee this summer transfer window before he becomes free agent in 2016. Arsenal FC are reportedly on the move to sign forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund with a massive fee of €40m bid for the French international via ESPN FC.
