This is the moment overjoyed former Gunners star Lukas Podolski shows off his adorable baby daughter during a family holiday.
Podolski and little dribbler Ella – just five months old – both beam at the camera in images shared with the star’s 5.6 million Instagram followers.
The veteran forward – who now plays for top-flight Polish club Gornik Zabrze – sits shirtless on a sofa as baby Ella sits laughing on his lap during the break in Turkey.
Podolski, 38 – part of Germany’s World Cup-winning 2014 squad – usually takes pains to keep his private life out of the public eye.
He and his wife Monika proudly announced last summer that they were expecting a third child, with Ella being born in Zabrze, southern Poland, on Friday, 20th January.
At the time, the Arsenal legend said it was the “most beautiful feeling in the world”.
He told local media: “Becoming a dad is always something very, very special.
“Actually, it’s the most beautiful feeling! We are delighted about welcoming the fifth member of our family.”
