Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Inter Milan will not sign Lukas Podolski on a permanent deal.

Arsenal will receive Podolski back this summer after a six-month loan.

"I’m pleased that Podolski broke his duck, he’s scored a very important goal," he said. "He’ll go back to London at the end of his loan deal, but he’s a true professional."

Podolski wasn't featuring for Arsenal before the move.
