Lukas Podolski believes Arsenal can mount a challenge for the Premier League title in the new season with so many managerial changes to the Gunners rivals. Podolski scored 11 times and also weighed in with 10 assists in 2012/13, putting him in the Premier League's top 10 performers in terms of goal contributions.
"The hope is that this season Arsenal will be at the top of the league. English football, thankfully, is not like Spain where you only have two teams - Barcelona and Real Madrid - who fight at the top,"
"In the Premier League, you have five, six, even seven top, top teams. It's very difficult but I know that Arsenal are one of those top teams who will be involved
"You don't know how the season will work out. A few of the other teams all have new managers, so it's difficult to say.
"But they will be strong and equally, Arsenal will be strong." said the 28-year-old in The Sun.
Podolski will be back in Pre Season training on Monday after being allowed to take a extended break due to Podolski's Germany's friendlies in late May and early June.
"It will be good to be back in training and I feel fit," he added. "This is a very important time of the year."This will be my first tour with Arsenal and I'm really looking forward to it. I hope Arsenal can have a good pre-season and, hopefully, all of us can be injury free. It's good to have Jack Wilshere back but we need all our players to be available.
"Last season was a good season for me. I scored a lot of goals and made a lot of assists so I was happy.
"I came from a small team like Cologne so it wasn't easy but, hopefully, this year will be better."
