Disappointed Nicklas Bendtner hopes to contribute for Arsenal's success

Nicklas Bendtner is disappointed with Wenger

Despite being disappointed with Arsene Wenger for pulling the plug – in the last minute – on his deadline day loan move to Crystal Palace, Nicklas Bendtner has vowed to do his best in helping Arsenal achieve success this season.

Just when everything was going smooth for Bendtner to seal his loan move to Crystal Palace, Chelsea‘s boss Jose Mourinho refused to send Demba Ba on loan to Arsenal, after having assured the Gunners of the opposite earlier.

The sudden twist coming out of nowhere left Wenger with no choice but to stall Bendtner’s loan move as the Gunners do not have a back up striker to Olivier Giroud.

Speaking to International Football Management, the 25-year-old Danish international said:

“It’s no secret that Arsenal and myself had agreed that I could leave the club during the 2013 summer transfer window subject to an agreement between all parties.

“An agreement had been reached with more than one club this week but as Arsenal were unable to secure the services of another striker, they reserved their right to not sanction any deal to be concluded.

“Naturally, I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to a new challenge, with a new club and a fresh start in English football.

“Many things have been said about my where my future lies after many years at Arsenal; the truth is I just want to play football which is when I’m happiest and Arsenal is a fantsstic environment for any professional to apply their trade.

“I still feel very strongly about Arsenal Football Club and following positive talks with the Manager, I am looking forward to working hard to regain full fitness and doing my very best to help to the team and the manager fulfil our objectives and ambitions this season.

“I’ve learnt a lot from my loan experiences at Sunderland and Juventus and I want to assure all Arsenal fans that I will give everything I have to contribute to what I believe will be a successful season for the club.”
