Lukas Podolski went back home to Cologne for a few days back in 2014 and while on holiday, the former Arsenal forward casually gave us a wonderful video involving a performing seal.

The German international, who was playing in the Premier League at the time of filming, visited the local zoo and randomly decided to play a game of head tennis with the locals.

I hope you are ready for what you're about to watch. I wasn't.

How good is that, seriously?

"That's the new transfer target." he said on Instagram at the time. "Currently he's a big star in Cologne but we'll see whether we can make him a Gunner."

Unfortunately for Arsenal fans around the world, Arsene Wenger didn't sign the youngster, but we still reckon he could play for a top team in Europe this season.

In other animal related news, the evolution of Lionel Messi's dog, the massive Dogue de Bordeaux, shot to fame when he went from tiny pup to gigantic beast back in 2017.

12 months later, Messi's wife, Antonella Roccuzo, has uploaded a video of the dog in a brilliant Instagram clip with the five-time Balon d'Or winner, and he makes him look a right mug.

As you can see in the footage below, the Barcelona forward just keeps on flicking the ball over the pooch's head, just like he does on a regular basis in La LIga.

Stop it, Lionel, this dog has a family.

We seriously can't get enough of animals playing football with some of the world's best, and Lukas Podolksi.
