Nicklas Bendtner exit imminent?

Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner will reportedly leave the Emirates Stadium on a permanent basis during the coming week.

The 24-year-old, who spent most of last season on loan at Sunderland, has not featured for the Gunners since August 2011.

AC Milan and Galatasaray are in direct competition for Bendtner's signature and Arsenal are likely to receive £7.5m for his departure, according to The Mirror.

Bendtner has made 99 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, scoring 22 goals.
