Nicklas Bendtner

Former Arsenal striker, Nicklas Bendtner trolled Spurs as they eventually lost the second position to Arsenal in the English Premier League, after Sunday’s stunning results.

It’s been over 2 months since Nicklas Bendtner performed a competitive match with his club Wolfsburg and even though his contract with the German club is set to expire in 2017, reports and rumors have been emerging claiming that his time with the Bundesliga squad is about to end as he is not wanted anymore.

Nicklas Bendtner arrived to Wolfsburg on a free transfer from Arsenal on August of 2014 but he has failed to make his presence truly felt in the pitch and the Danish player has received infractions due to disciplinary issues and he was also fined for being late in training sessions.

Klaus Allofs is the sporting director of Wolfsburg and he did confirm that discussions have been taking place as the proper actions are being done to release Nicklas Bendtner as fast as possible.

“I just slept in late and didn't hear my alarm.”

These are the exact words of Nicklas Bendtner after receiving a fine from Wolfsburg for arriving late and oversleeping. The Wolfsburg forward supposedly arrived 45 minutes late for training and Wolfsburg wasn't buying his excuse. So what does this mean for Nicklas Bendtner?

The forward has been left out of the match day squad for the previous six matches. This Monday is when the forward opened up about being late and being fined by the Wolfsburg club for showing up late. Previously playing as a forward for Arsenal, Bendtner doesn't appear to have any kind of future with the Bundesliga club because he was dropped from the squad. His fines are adding up to be 50 every single minute he appears late.

Wolfsburg director of sport Klaus Allofs claims that striker Nicklas Bendtner has been a failure at the German club.

This is yet another sign of discontent amongst the club. The former Arsenal forward joined Wolfsburg 18 months ago and signed a three-year contract with the hope of reviving his career. Bendtner has spent the best part of the last five years on loan at various clubs while trying to get a move from Arsenal. He could be going down the same road once again, as Wolfsburg are not very keen on keeping him at the club.

Klaus Allofs, the director of sport for Wolfsburg, has branded Nicklas Bendtner a sheer ‘failure’ as he has been unable to deliver things that was expected of him when he became a part of the German league 18 months ago from EPL side Arsenal.

The Dane signed a 3 year deal with the Wolfsburg after Arsenal sent him on a series of loan transfers with Juventus, Birmingham and Sunderland. He could not register a lasting impression with any of these clubs. Now, Allofs has also stated that Nicklas Bendtner current stint is also not going well with this club.

It appears that Nicklas Bendtner time in German football could be coming to an end sooner than expected after Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs criticised the striker for not doing his work properly during the winter break.

The season is about to resume in German football and several clubs have been doing the preparations. Wolfsburg, though, have been left surprised with two of their important players – Bendtner and Julian Draxler – coming up with less than impressive levels of fitness. Both players have been accused of being too relaxed during the break. Bendtner has especially found himself in the firing line once again.

NicklasBendtner has a contract with Wolfsburg which extends until 2017 but the German forward seems to be inching his away from the club and now rumors are starting to spread stating that Bendtner is on the verge of exiting the team.

The 27 year old forward is mostly being used as a back-up option performing as a substitute player and only getting scraps of playing time in certain matches, this is something that has not pleased Bendtner and he has recently voiced his disgust in relation to the role that he has been playing with the team.

"My time at Wolfsburg is like a rollercoaster ride. I always want to play, as I have said a million times. The best way is to score like I did and contribute to the success." This was the statement that Bendtner released back in October when he scored a goal against Bayern Leverkusen.

Gonzalo Higuain reached the 18 goals mark for Fiorentina of the last season as the Argentinean scored 18 goals in 37 appearances and was one of the top scorers of the Italian League.

It seems like the performances that Higuain displayed in the Italian League season with Napoli has received the attention of a number of clubs who are now interested in signing the Argentinean attacker including: Everton and Liverpool.

Unfortunately for Liverpool and Everton, Napoli has no desire or plans of selling Gonzalo Higuain anytime soon as the Italian club announced that in order for any club to sign Higuain, they will have to pay at least €95 million.

Napoli goalkeeper Pepe Reina, who has returned to Italian Serie A from Bayern Munich, says that the club will be much more competitive in this campaign.

Reina spent one season at Napoli when Rafael Benitez was the manager of the club. His great relationship with Benitez was the reason behind Reina moving to Napoli on a loan deal from Liverpool. However, not many expected him to secure a move to Bayern Munich on a permanent basis once he decided to leave the Merseyside club. This was due to the presence of Manuel Neuer, who is widely thought of as the best goalkeeper in the world right now.

Nicklas Bendtner has been subjected to intense criticism from all forms of media over the last few years. He has been a particular favourite amongst Internet trolls.

The striker has hit back at some of his critics by stating on his Instagram that he will fight till the end. Bendtner was hoping to have found a perfect form in the form of Wolfsburg. After a nightmare spell at Arsenal where he failed to get a game for several years and was sent out on loan to various clubs due to this reason, Bendtner moved to Wolfsburg on a permanent basis. His move to German football has not been extremely successful after all.
