Nicklas Bendtner was Arsenal’s King of Brinksmanship last season.
The powerful forward struck a couple of crucial last-gasp goals to keep his side in the title race. Had Arsène Wenger’s men gone on to lift the title then his strikes against Hull and Wolves would have been almost mythical.
In the end, they just went to prove the superb contribution the great Dane can make either up front or out wide.
Injury cost him the middle part of the 2009/10 season and also hindered his World Cup however he remains a resourceful front man, capable of the creation and execution of goals.
Still in his early 20s, Bendtner should be the mainstay of the Arsenal attack for years to come.
Nicklas Bendtner is a 'homegrown' player in Arsenal's official Premier League squad.
