Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he believes a fully-fit and fully-focused Nicklas Bendtner could be a huge asset to the club.
The Dane international has been linked with a move away from Arsenal for the last two years, but has only managed to secure loan moves to Sunderland and Juventus respectively.
The 25-year-old is currently in his homeland going through a tough fitness regime in order to lose weight and get back to full fitness and his boss believes that if he achieves that, he could be an asset to the club.
“I had a chat with him because I blocked his move,” the manager said. “I wanted him to stay in the end because I felt that we were short up front, that Sanogo might need a few months to adapt.
“As well as that Nicklas Bendtner, with the right state of mind and the right focus, has the quality to help the squad to win things.
“He was honest. He is an honest guy. We want complete commitment and focus from him and he promised that. Nicklas Bendtner, with complete focus and commitment, will be a very strong player in our squad.”
