Podolski has clearly indicated that he wants to join Arsenal at the end of the season and, with his contract at Cologne ending in 2013, the club is ready to sell this summer.
Talks on a fee are ongoing and, although it was reported yesterday by German newspaper Bild that a deal has been completed, sources at Arsenal have insisted that this is premature.
Although there is a sense that Cologne would still like to create an auction and push the price to around £15 million, there is also growing confidence that Podolski will eventually join Per Mertesacker in moving from the Bundesliga to Arsenal this summer.
"He has been very interested in the past few weeks and has sent me a number of text messages," said Mertesacker.
"I've told him that this is a great place to work and that Arsenal are an amazing club. Nothing has been agreed yet, though, and Lukas hasn't given me a ring yet."
Arsène Wenger, meanwhile, is facing the prospect of a third Uefa touchline ban in a year after being charged with improper conduct for his behaviour after Arsenal’s Champions League exit against AC Milan.
Wenger was visibly furious at the final whistle and became embroiled in a heated argument with referee Damir Skomina in the tunnel after the game.
It is alleged that Wenger swore at the Slovenian official and called his performance "a disgrace".
It is understood that the outburst took place in front of a Uefa delegate and the incident was included in Skomina's report of Arsenal’s 3-0 victory.
Uefa's control and disciplinary panel is expected to meet to consider Wenger's conduct on March 29.
It is potentially significant that the panel will take into account Wenger’s disciplinary record, which has seen him serve touchline bans for three of Arsenal’s 10 Champions League games this season.
