Arsenal Star Confirms Decision to Quit Club Permanently
Arsenal forward Nicklas Bentner, who is currently on loan at fellow Premier League side Sunderland, has revealed he will not be returning to his parent club when the temporary move to the North East expires.
Bentner fell out of favour under Wenger, finding himself way down the pecking order for a starting place leading the line at the Emirates. Marouane Chamakh, Gervinho and Robin van Persie had all established themselves as preferred options, leaving Bentner with little alternative but to agree to a loan move in the pursuit of first team football.
However, Bentner has once again echoed his decision not to return to Arsenal, with the Danish international evidently of the belief that he no longer has a future at the North London club.
"As I have said before, I will not return to Arsenal,” Bentner insisted.
“I never really got the chance and then I was unfortunate with injuries. But now I will hopefully have a good season at Sunderland and with a fantastic European Championship ahead, it looks positive.”
Whilst Bentner spoke positively of his current loan spell under Steve Bruce, he also cast doubt on a potential permanent switch by insisting that he wishes to play club football at the very highest level; something Sunderland would struggle to offer him.
"I want to play in the Champions League,” Bentner concluded.
