Arsenal starlet Nicklas
Bendtner is confident he can force his way into Arsene Wenger's
plans next season.
The 19-year-old striker, who has been on loan at Birmingham this
season, has agreed a new five-year deal at Emirates Stadium and is
now determined to make his mark for The Gunners.
"It has always been my goal to get my breakthrough at Arsenal," he
told TV2.
"There were no other clubs that were interesting for me. I know I
have the right qualities, or will be able to develop them.
"I truly believe that I can break through on that level, and I have
had meetings with them where they have told me that I figure in
their plans for the future.
"If that had not happened, neither they nor I would have signed
this deal."
Bendtner acknowledges that other forwards at the club may be better
placed at present as they have more experience within the squad and
of the Premiership, but he does not believe it will hinder
him.
"The other [strikers] may have an advantage over me, but when I
restart training and get some good matches under my belt, I am sure
I will get my chance and I will take it."
