Nicklas Bendtner set for Arsenal exit as club accepts FIVE offers

Nicklas Bendtner finally looks set to leave Arsenal after confirming the club have accepted FIVE offers for him.

The Gunners flop was told he could leave the Emirates two years ago and has spent the past couple of seasons on loan at Sunderland and Juventus.

Now it appears he will exit for good after a number of clubs matched his asking price.

He said: “Arsenal have agreed with five clubs so now it is up to me to make a choice.

“I will make that choice within the next 14 days. They are all good clubs.

“It is a hugely important choice I’m faced with. I must go where I am wanted.

“As a footballer, there is only one thing that can make you happy: playing time.”

The 25-year-old has not appeared for the Gunners since August 2011 and failed to score during his year-long spell at Juve last season.

Bendtner turned down a move to Hamburg in January after claiming the club were not big enough for him.

But he appears to have lowered his sights with Borussia Monchengladbach, Eintracht Frankfurt and Besiktas thought be among teams to have agreed terms with the Gunners.

He added: “Will it be good for me to go to a big club where I risk the bench?

“No, I’d rather go somewhere where the club is located just below the top where I can play every week.

“I can take a step back to take three forward.”
