Lukas Podolski has revealed his determination to help Inter Milan secure Champions League qualification this season.

Roberto Mancini's side are currently 11th in Serie A, eight points behind third-placed Lazio, but Podolski believes that he can play a role in the team's charge up the table after moving to San Siro on loan from Arsenal.

"Inter are one of the top 10 clubs in the world," the German forward, who made his debut in the 1-1 draw with Juventus on Tuesday, told reporters. "They've achieved amazing success over the years.

"Now I can concentrate on my football. If we do that we can achieve our goal - Champions League qualification."

Inter return to action against Genoa on Sunday.
