Nicklas Bendtner is a Danish footballer who plays for VfL Wolfsburg and the Denmark national team. His preferred position is centre forward, but he has also played on the right side of attack, and possesses a powerful header. Having progressed through the youth ranks at T�rnby Boldklub, Kj�benhavns Boldklub and Arsenal, Bendtner signed his first professional contract with Arsenal in 2005. He made his professional debut in October 2005 in the Football League Cup, in a game against Sunderland. For the 2006?07 season, Bendtner was loaned out to Championship side Birmingham City, where he made 48 appearances. Following his return to Arsenal, he became a regular first team player, but began to slip out of favour during the 2010?11 season. As a result, he moved on loan to Premier League side Sunderland for the majority of the 2011?12 season, where he made 30 appearances. He then spent the entire 2012?13 season on loan to Serie A side Juventus, where he made 10 appearances, but failed to score. Bendtner was released by Arsenal in 2014, and subsequently joined Wolfsburg on a free transfer.
