BIOGRAPHY Nicklas Bendtner, born January 16, 1988, in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a Danish professional footballer, who plays as a striker for English club Arsenal in the Premier League, and the Denmark national football team.
Bendtner, self-assured, brilliant striker, started playing football for Copenhagen clubs B.93 and Kjøbenhavns Boldklub. He scored four goals in six Danish national youth team matches, before joining English club Arsenal in the summer of 2004. He formed a prolific striking partnership at the Arsenal reserve team, with reserve teammate Arturo Lupoli. Bendtner's first team debut for Arsenal came on October 25, 2005, in a League Cup match against Sunderland A.F.C. at the Stadium of Light, as a substitute for Quincy Owusu-Abeyie in the final minutes.
The 2007/08 season saw Bendtner finally begin his first-team career at Arsenal. The tall Danish striker had been rising through the ranks since moving from Copenhagen in 2004. He spent a year on loan at Birmingham but returned last season to push his claims for a starting berth. In 2009, he continued to have an impressive season scoring a total 14 goals 4 assists. Bendtner is big but has a deft touch on the floor. He has the ability to link midfield and attack with intelligence then finish of the move with precision.
Teammate John Sivebæk said to the media that he can see great potential in Bendtner. "His speed and technique reminds me that of Thierry Henry but there is also a little bit of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his challenging and unpredictable style. View GALLERY:
