Bendtner poised for Frankfurt switch

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is closing in on a move to Bundesliga side Frankfurt, according to the player’s agent.

Reports suggest that the German club are set to complete a deal in the region of £3million for the Denmark international.

Bendtner, 25, has been in the Arsenal set-up since 2005 but has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Emirates Stadium.

He spent last season on loan at Serie A champions Juventus and previously had a temporary spell at Sunderland.

The Dane’s agent, Tom Brookes, told Ekstra Bladet: “I can’t say too much but I hope to have everything sorted out by the end of the week.

“I was in Frankfurt last Sunday.”
