Frings urges Podolski switch

Torsten Frings has urged Germany team-mate Lukas Podolski to join him at Werder Bremen next season.
The pair were integral parts of the German side that reached the Euro 2008 Final and midfielder Frings believes the forward would be able to kick-start his club career at the Weserstadion.
Podolski has struggled to hold down a first-team place during two seasons with current club Bayern Munich despite being a virtual ever-present at international level.
"Of course we have spoken about that matter, but it is really up to Lukas," said Frings.
"I am certain that Lukas would return to having fun playing football - just like he does in the national team. This is something that he has lost at Bayern.
"In Bremen he could play at the very highest level."
