Bendtner rules out Arsenal return

Nicklas Bendtner has ruled out a return to Arsenal; insisting he has played his last game for the Gunners. Bendtner completed a transfer deadline day loan move to Sunderland.

Bendtner had hoped to find a permanent move away from Arsenal after telling Arsene Wenger at the end of last season that he has played his last game for the club.

"If I can have it my way, I will never play for them again," the Dane revealed.

"After my car accident I never really got the chance to earn a spot in the first team.

"That is over one-and-a-half years with no real chance to prove myself.

"I am really looking forward to playing for Sunderland and then we will see next summer.

"I will find a new club - but I will not go back to Arsenal, that's for sure."
