Lukas Podolski has been showing off his new friends at Galatasaray, after posting a picture of himself alongside several club mates on a team bonding bike trip.
Podolski signed a three-year deal with Galatasaray earlier this month after the Turkish giants agreed a £1.8m deal plus add-ons with Arsenal.
The Germany international was all smiles posing alongside a sea of happy faces as the squad took time off from pre-season preparations on the field to go cycling in a forest.

Podolski wrote an emotional open farewell letter to 'the best fans in England' when he left Arsenal after three seasons with the north London club, but is in fine fettle now that his new chapter in Turkey has begun.
The 30-year-old has been busy sharing his early experiences with his new employers via social media, and his latest scenic post beside a stream is accompanied with the message: 'Bike tour with a quick stop #Galatasaray #cimbom #poldi #team #enjoyandwork'.
Podolski netted 31 goals in 82 appearances for Arsenal after joining the club from Cologne in 2012.
The left-footed former Bayern Munich man was on loan at Inter Milan from Arsenal for the second half of last season, and scored one goal in 17 games in Serie A.
