Title race with Podolski.

Wenger: Podolski can turn Arsenal into title contenders.The Frenchman wants to add the German international and another proven goalscorer to lighten the load on captain Robin Van Persie, who has scored just under half of the Gunners' Premier League goals this season.

The 62-year-old boss told the Daily Mail: "Yes [we want Podolski], because we want to add some offensive strikers, because many times people say we rely too much on Van Persie, which is true, but if we can find world-class players, we will [challenge for the title]."

I think podolski will be a world class player in the premier league.  Podolski facts: Podolski was born in Poland Gliwice. His full name is Lukas Josef Podolski.He was born on the4 June 1985 (age 26).

In 2011-2012 for 1. FC Köln he appeared 20 times and scored 16 goals. This is at a club with not many world class players ; At aresnal with the playmakers such as: Alex song, Tomáš Rosický, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, Theo Walcott And Robin vanpersie he could be scoring lots more goals.

I think that Podolski will fit in very well at arsenal but more importantly i think if they sign him arsenal will have a great chance at the title race.
