Roma could be set to try their luck with an approach for unsettled Arsenal forward Lukas Podolski this summer, it has emerged.
The German international only joined the Gunners last season, putting in a solid campaign in his first year in English football, though he appears to have fallen out of favour with Arsene Wenger this time around.
With Podolski being one of the highest earners at the Emirates Stadium, it seems unlikely that the club will keep him on if he continues to warm the bench, and [football] direct news understands that Roma would be first in line to make an offer for him.
The Italian giants also signed Gervinho from Arsenal last summer, and the Ivory Coast winger has performed well at the Stadio Olimpico after also enduring a frustrating time in his two years in north London.
With Roma losing key attackers like Erik Lamela and Pablo Osvaldo this season, Podolski could be a useful signing upfront for Rudi Garcia's side.
The 28-year-old has five goals in eleven appearances in all competitions this season.
