Koln seek Podolski return

Koln coach Christoph Daum is hoping to bring striker Lukas Podolski back to the club from Bayern Munich next season.
The 22-year-old Germany international has struggled to make his mark in his two seasons with Bayern, having risen to prominence with Koln prior to his switch to the Allianz Arena.
Daum told the Kolner Express: "If there is the possibility for us, then we will discuss the P-Plan.
"If Lukas gets the clearance from Bayern, then I am sure that there are people here who support us who can finance his move.
"We also know that an international player and an icon like him would not only open sporting possibilities for us.
"However, we have to pay attention to the Bundesliga's rules. Anything else would be unfair on Bayern, Jurgen Klinsmann and Lukas Podolski. We don't live in anarchy."
