Bayern Munich striker Podolski demands transfer and puts Premier League on red alert
Germany striker Lukas Podolski has put a host of Barclays Premier League clubs on alert after demanding a transfer from Bayern Munich.
The 23-year-old was a star for his country at Euro 2008, where he scored three goals to propel them to the final, but has struggled for regular football at the Allianz Arena.
Tottenham were strongly linked with a move for Podolski after his heroics in Austria and Switzerland, along with Manchester City, but Bayern decided not to cash in.
However, after finding himself down the pecking order in Bavaria, and with David Beckham's Los Angeles Galaxy team-mate Landon Donovan to arrive in January to provide further competition, Podolski is now determined to clinch a move away.
'I have made my mind up that I would like to leave the club in the winter,' he told today's Bild newspaper.

I know he's not linked with United in this article...so no one have to waste their time to make that comment....
Still...could Lukas be what we crave at the moment? Before you start to post about how many strikers we got and naming them I have to say that I think Podolski better then Manucho, Welbeck, Campbell and the other strikers we got. The only one better then the Polish born German Int.
In the german Wiki page they say he got 60 caps for Germany and scored 31 goals. And for all of you who want to know the world best player have 60 caps too and scored 'only' 21 goals.
