Nicklas Bendtner

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.

NicklasBendtner was not featured in Wolfsburg’s Bundesliga match against Schalke 04 which took place at the Volkswagen Arena on April 19 but despite rumors that were linking Bendtner with a possible injury; the Danish player had to miss out from this game after being late during a training session.

Being dropped from the main team of Wolfsburg is the punishment that the manager gave to NicklasBendtner after the 27 year old forward arrived late during a training session of his team, the day after they had lost 4-1 against Napoli.

Former Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner says that he does not care about what others have to say about him. Instead, he is focusing on better things in life.

The 27-year-old Danish forward is currently playing for Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg after joining the club in the summer. He has been relatively decent for the Bundesliga team after scoring three goals in just four starts. Bendtner, though, has not been a regular starting player for Wolfsburg. Most of his 15 appearances have come as a substitute. Despite his lack of consistent goals, Bendtner has been subjected to continuous Internet trolling.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic might not have had a great career at Camp Nou, but, he has denied that he has any hard feelings for the Spanish club.

According to the Sweden international, he made a lot of friends during his time at Barcelona and he still gets along well with those guys.

There have been occasions in the past when Ibrahimovic has hinted that he did not like the way he was used at Barcelona, but, now, the striker seems to have moved on from it.

He was very kind while speaking about his former club the other night. In his words, “I have thousands of friends over here in this city and I share good bonding with the Barca players as well.”

Wolfsburg manager Dieter Hecking feels that striker Nicklas Bendtner will have extra motivation to perform well against Everton given that they are an English club.

The 26-year-old striker spent almost a decade in English football with the likes of Arsenal, Sunderland, and Birmingham City. However, the difficult period recently came to an end after the striker moved to Wolfsburg in the summer. He has been in relatively good form, but goals continue to evade him. He recently ended the goal drought by scoring two againstFC Krasnodar in the Europa league.

Nicklas Bendtner spent over 5 seasons performing at the Emirates Stadium but the Danish attacker could never really cement his spot in the starting lineup of Arsene Wenger. He did manage to get into the main team of Wenger during his 3 opening seasons with the Premier League club but after new players were being signed and with the performances of Bendtner just not being good enough, he started falling down in the pecking order of the squad and was even offloaded to a number of different clubs including: Juventus, Sunderland and Birmingham City with the objective that the Danish player could gain experience outside of Arsenal and hopefully make his return to the Emirates Stadium as a more experienced and knowledge player but he was eventually sold to the German side Wolfsburg.
