Bendtner Snubs Offers


By Nick Lander

Nicklas Bendtner has received a number of offers to leave the club, but has turned them all down. He does, however, seem to have a number of other suitors with whom he is still negotiating.

The Dane spent last season on loan in the North East with Sunderland, as the club failed to find a permanent buyer. He will definitely move on permanently this summer though, he told sporten.dk, "Arsenal is not an option and this is something both the club and I agree on. I expect to have found a solution to my situation before the window closes. There are concrete negotiations in the works."

The 24-year-old did admit that he has already turned down some clubs, "I have [turned down some offers] and there are a lot of different reasons for that. I have three demands and I won't sign a deal with a club who aren't prepared to fill those demands."

Bendtner has been hit and miss during his time at Arsenal, turning in some brilliant performances, but overshadowing those with some horrendous misses. Coupled with his sky-high self-confidence, which many fans see as an undeserved arrogance, he does not have the fans on side and Gooners will be hoping that a club who can fulfil his three demands comes in for him. He has not featured at all for the Gunners during pre-season.

The most noise currently being made is of a move to AC Milan, who are looking to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, possibly involving French centre-half Philippe Mexes coming in the other direction. Arsenal will be hoping to wrap up this transfer within the first couple of weeks of the season, as the time remaining in this window is rapidly running out.
