The Gunners bagged Podolski from FC Köln for £10 million but Wenger has moved to quash rumours surrounding the signing of the highly-rated middle-man.
"It is not true," the Gunners boss told Sky Sports. "There is not any interest at the moment.
"We have not been in touch with anybody, we have not made any offer to anybody and we are nowhere near to buying anybody else at the moment."
Meanwhile, Podolski has expressed his admiration for Arsenal, saying he is relishing meeting his new team-mates.
The 26-year-old will move to Emirates Stadium after Germany's Euro 2012 campaign later in July and the striker is excited to start playing 'the Arsenal way'.
"Arsenal are a very disciplined team; they play great football with excellent passing and they are really good to watch on television," he told Arsenal Player.
"I'm excited to be part of this team now, playing that way and making the supporters happy.
"Robin van Persie has had such a brilliant season - it has been great to watch. Then there is Per Mertesacker who I know well, and I have also been impressed with the performances of Wojciech Szczesny in goal.
"Of course Tomas Rosicky has had a very good season. But there are many great players at Arsenal and I'm looking forward to meeting all of my new team-mates."
Podolski added: "I used to enjoy watching Henry, Pires and Jens Lehmann of course. Bergkamp as well.
"There are quite a few great players from Arsenal's history - we know them all, don't we?! And I'm proud to become an Arsenal player myself."
