# Arsenal to be tempted by £28 million proposition?

[![podolski.jpg](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Lukas-Podolski-Arsenal-Montpellier-Champions-_2864289.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Lukas-Podolski-Arsenal-Montpellier-Champions-_2864289.jpg)Arsenal fans in the Football Transfer Tavern have already lost Thomas Vermaelen this week and there could be more departures coming soon.\
\
That’s because according to the [Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/498198/Galatasaray-ponder-swoop-for-28m-Arsenal-pair-Joel-Campbell-and-Lukas-Podolski), Turkish giants Galatasaray have enquired about the availability of Arsenal attacking pair Joel Campbell and Lukas Podolski.\
\
And reports suggest that the Turkish champions have already sent out representatives to speak to the North London club.\
\
Costa Rican international striker Campbell made a surprise impression during this summer’s World Cup and it is thought that an £8 million transfer fee could be enough to tempt Arsene Wenger’s into selling.\
\
But the Turkish Super Lig club are also keen on Podolski and Wenger’s is likely to be interested in cashing in should they match his steep £20 million price tag.\
\
It would mean new Gala boss Cesare Prandelli would need to smash his sides’ current £16.5 million transfer record to land the German but funds are available as they look to replace the departed Didier Drogba.

### **Arsenal fans. Arsene Wenger would be a miracle worker if he could receive such a high fee for Podolski, wouldn’t he? Let us know your thoughts below.**
