Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has challenged his Danish forward Nicklas Bendtner to make the most of his stay at the Emirates this season.
Bendtner, was denied a switch to Premier League newcomers Crystal Palace on transfer deadline day , as Arsene Wenger cited the reason for lack of striking options.
However, with the Dane fit and ready to go , Wenger has insisted that he will have no second thoughts of utilising him this season.
He told The Mirror: "Bendtner is a good striker. It is a fantastic opportunity for him. Everybody thought about strikers. Honestly, he was supposed to go, but he stayed and once he stays you have to consider him as a full player of the squad.
"If he deserves to play in front of Olivier Giroud, he plays in front of Giroud. That is as simple as that. He lost his way a little bit, but he is not a bad boy.
"He is a good guy. He took the easy way a little bit, but now he realises there are some [signals] in your career when players think that is the moment for them. He has got the message. He has good self-esteem."
