Arsène Wenger has hailed Lukas Podolski as one of the best finishers he has ever seen.
The German forward recently returned to the side after four months on the sidelines with a hamstring injury and made an immediate impact with a goal and an assist against West Ham on Boxing Day
."It takes some time to come back. This week he looked sharper in training so he's getting closer now to being completely fit again."Podolski is in the position of Oxlade-Chamberlain," Wenger said. "He has been out for four months and after being available, it doesn’t mean you are competitive in the Premier League.
"He's certainly one of the best finishers I've ever seen. When he is physically ready, he will of course help us. If there's one you want to see in front of the goal in a shooting position, it's him.
"He can play that central role when he's completely fit. He came on in a recent game and was not completely ready but he is one of the potential assets we have there."
