According to Nicklas Bendtner's father, Thomas, the player will be staying at Arsenal despite reports of interest from German giants Bayern Munich who are set for a huge summer spending spree.

“I have heard about these offers from Germany, but Nicklas is staying at Arsenal,” Thomas Bendtner told The Guardian.

“The only way things could be different was if something unexpected should happen, such as him being moved totally outside of the team, but it’s difficult to see that happening as he is playing right now.”

The news is sure to disappoint Bayern, as Bendtner himself quipped: “When you look at my season and the way it has developed, I see no reason why I would want to change Arsenal with any other club.”
