Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski has told RTL he is considering leaving the club in January.
Podolski, 29, could only watch on from the substitutes' bench as the Gunners saw off Galatasarary 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Germany international, who found himself on the bench for much of his nation's World Cup-winning campaign, has only made two brief appearances in the Premier League and one in Europe this season, although he started in the 2-1 defeat to Southampton in the Capital One Cup.
Podolski looked at one point to be on his way out of the club in the summer, only for Arsene Wenger to opt to keep him, yet he could find himself heading for a new challenge come January.
"I am a footballer through and through, I am a street footballer and I love competition. And when I don't have that competition every weekend, there has to be a change," Podolski, under contract at Arsenal until 2016, told RTL in quotes reported by Spiegel.
"We'll see about [a possible transfer in January]. But I have to at least give it a thought."
