Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that Lukas Podolski has settled quickly in the Premier League because of his professional attitude.

Podolski has scored twice in the Champions League in successive games and is aiming to continue that run against Schalke on Wednesday.

Wenger revealed that he is delighted with the impact of the German international.

He told the club's official website: "He has a very friendly attitude and works very hard. He's a team player and I think you can't lie to the crowd, he's very happy here.

"He's a good voice to have in the dressing room. and has been received well. On Saturday he was a bit less effective, like the whole team but we are very happy with him.

"He works very hard for the team. He scores goals and makes goals. Tomorrow there will be a little more pressure on him but he's used to that. He's got 100 Germany caps so he can handle it."

The 27-year-old has scored four goals in 10 Arsenal appearances at this early stage of his debut season at the Emirates.
