Arsene Wenger: 'Nicklas can be an unstoppable striker'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has backed Nicklas Bendtner to have a successful spell with the Gunners this season.

The Danish International is set to make a comeback for the North London club since August 2011 against West Bromwich Albion in the third round of the Capital One Cup today.


 Wenger told the club's official website : "He had nearly gone somewhere else [in August] and in the end he stayed because it didn't work out and we needed him here. 

"Now he can convince everybody. We are open-minded, we believe in his qualities. I personally believe in his qualities. It's just down to attitude and fighting [spirit]. When he has that, Nicklas can be an unstoppable striker. He gets his chance. Our job is about that. Take your chance.

"Fans forgive you everything as long as you produce the performances on the football pitch. That's what people want. I think our fans have a positive attitude towards Bendtner and they will be behind him. Only you can create that with your performances."
