Bendtner close to Arsenal exit

Nicklas Bendtner looks set to complete a move to Borussia Dortmund this week. The Danish international forward has been in talks with the German side this week and some progress was made over the weekend.

Bendtner has been left out of Arsenal's pre-season preparations by Arsene Wenger, who has grown frustrated by the striker's lack of consistency at the Emirates and he failed to impress last year when called upon.

Dortmund and Arsenal will complete a £9m agreement for the player who will pen a four year contract with the Bundesliga champions.
