Lukas Podolski says "hell will freeze over" before he leaves Arsenal to join north London rivals Tottenham.
Podolski, 29, is unhappy at the Emirates having played just 36 minutes of Premier League football this season, while his only start of the campaign came in the Capital One Cup defeat to Southampton.
Despite Arsene Wenger promising the striker that he has a future at the club, Podolski has made his situation well known, saying that the situation "needs to change now."
But if he does leave Arsenal in the January transfer window, there is one place he certainly will not be going.
When BBC Sport tweeted a link to their gossip column suggesting Spurs would be making a 10 million-pound move in January, Podolski replied: "Hell will freeze over before this transfer would happen."
