The 26-year-old striker has been on Arsene Wengers wanted list for the last two years. Both Arsenal and Koln were keen to finalise the deal before the European Championship started in June.
Podolski did not want to interrupt his preparations with the Germany squad, who are among the avourites to win the tournament.
