NICKLAS BENDTNER IN STOKE TALKS

Stoke are reportedly in talks with Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner about a move to the Britannia Stadium.

The 23-year-old has been linked with an exit from the Emirates throughout the summer and it seems he could join Stoke after being spotted at the club's training ground.

The Denmark international has made no secret of his desire to leave Arsenal after becoming frustrated with a lack of regular opportunities last term.

Arsene Wenger left Bendtner out of Arsenal's squad for their pre-season tour of Asia and confirmed he would be allowed to depart after seven years at the club.

Bendtner has made only one appearance this season and the signing of Park Chu-young has pushed him further down the pecking order.

Stoke boss Tony Pulis has been actively looking to bolster his attacking options and it appears he has turned his attentions to Bendtner after being frustrated in his attempts to land Peter Crouch from Tottenham.

The Potters are also in talks with Birmingham striker Cameron Jerome and it looks like Bendter could join him at the Brittannia if he can agree terms and pass a medical.
