Bendtner: I have to leave Arsenal
Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed to a Danish website that he has made the decision to leave Arsenal this summer.
The striker found first-team opportunities hard to come by this season with the arrival of Marouane Chamakh and the scoring form of Robin van Persie.
Indeed most of the playing time Bendtner had was out of position on the wing, a role he has found it hard to adapt to.
Bayern Munich are believed to be interested, and the 23-year-old has welcomed a new challenge after seven years at Arsenal.
He said: "I have decided 100% that I must leave Arsenal. I've considered this for a long time and was quite clear when I arrived at my decision.
"It doesn't feel particularly strange to not know what my future holds - I'm quite calm and confident that I'll be fine at a new club.
"I'm fully focused on Saturday's game for now, because it is incredibly important, but after the international is over I may focus more directly on my future [but] I am sure I could easily go on holiday without having to panic about it. I'm looking to relax, mentally, after a season that was not what I hoped for or expected."
Bendtner has been valued at roughly £10million by his father and agent.
