Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that wantaway striker Nicklas Bendtner could still have a future at the club, despite saying that he will never put on an Arsenal shirt again.
The Dane has been sent out on loan for the past two seasons, to Sunderland and then to Juventus, failing to impress for both sides and during those stints, he made a comment saying that he will never play for Wenger’s side again.
However, after yet another summer of not being able to get a move to any other club, Bendtner may have to stay at the Emirates Stadium yet again.
The positive news for the striker is that Wenger is prepared to forgive and forget and has insisted that if he works hard, he will be used.
‘The chance for him to leave now is very small and if he comes back well and gets fit, I will use him,’ said Wenger on the Denmark international.
Despite not capturing anyone of note yet this transfer window, Wenger insists that the club won’t panic buy.
‘We will not panic buy, that is for sure. You can believe me. It is not my strength to panic.
‘I can give you my phone and you will see I have more than 50 players offered to me a day.
‘I’m completely happy with what we do and how we do things. I don’t share the criticisms that are made of my (transfer) team.’
