Podolski, currently plying his trade in Poland with Gornik Zabrze, was renowned for his explosive shooting ability in a career where he played for Bayern, Arsenal, and Inter among other teams.
"Podolski’s made a real impact. I’ve not seen many finishers as good as him – ever," former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's then-assistant Steve Bould told reporters in September 2012 following the Gunners' win over Montpeiller (h/t The Sun).
“Right foot, left foot. They always go in at 100mph in training. He’s a good trainer, a good boy. He’s really added something this year," Bould added.
WHAT LUKAS PODOLSKI SAID
In an interview with BILD, Podolski was asked which current player has the best shooting technique, to which the ex-Germany international replied: "Harry Kane has excellent shooting technique – there's a lot to learn from him. But guys like Roberto Carlos or Lukas Podolski are, of course, hard to beat!"

Kane's shooting ability will be needed if Bayern Munich are to progress to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Indeed, the Bavarians suffered a narrow 2-1 loss to Inter at home in the first leg of their last-eight clash on Tuesday. Before the second leg at the San Siro next week, Kane will be leading the frontline against Borussia Dortmund in on Saturday, as Vincent Kompany's side aim to avoid a slip-up at the top of the table with six games to go.
