Bendtner on his way to Besiktas?

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has been told he can leave the Emirates, according to a report from Turkey this morning, and that Besiktas are ready to make a £9 million offer for the Denmark international striker.

Bendtner has grown increasingly frustrated with a lack of first team opportunities at Arsenal, and has told Arsene Wenger that he wants to leave if the Frenchman can not guarantee him first-team football next year.

Wenger is ready to give Marouane Chamakh another chance next year in the first-team and so Bendtner is seemingly going to be left out in the cold.

If Besiktas' bid for Bendtner is accepted, the player will earn up to £80,000 a week in Turkey, nearly double his Gunners contract.
