Lukas Podolski
I am strong enough, and I have qualities, and when good players come in, I will play with good players.
Every season, players come in and players go, but I think it is good news if top players come in.
The main thing is to score a goal in the first half. Then everything will be possible.
When I'm on the pitch, I'm happy. I can shut everything else out.
Football is like recreation for me. I'd sooner be playing five-a-side than going out to eat or shopping.
It was hard every time I found out that I was not in the starting XI.
I like the style of football in England and the style of Arsenal, and I'm very happy to play in the Premier League.
It was easy for me to play in the Premier League.
Of course I'm not happy when I'm not playing.
I want to be playing and enjoying my football.
I must say I personally prefer the FC Cologne anthem over the Liverpool one.
I don't care for media or people being critical of me.
I want to score in every game, play well, and set up goals.
A move away from Arsenal did not fall through because I had no offers to move.
Every top player is of interest to Arsenal - and Draxler is certainly one of those.
