Nicklas Bendtner: 'I'll give Arsenal my all'

Nicklas Bendtner vows to show his full commitment to Arsenal after seeing his move to Crystal Palace collapse.

Nicklas Bendtner has insisted that he will do all that he can to help Arsenal over the coming months.

The Danish striker was expected to leave the Emirates Stadium during the summer transfer window and was believed to have agreed terms with Crystal Palace last night, but Arsenal's failure to land a replacement saw that deal fall through.

However, despite admitting that he was "very disappointed" to have missed out on a move to Selhurst Park, the Danish international has said that he will give 100% to the Gunners.

"It's no secret that Arsenal and myself had agreed that I could leave the club during the 2013 summer transfer window subject to an agreement between all parties," read a statement from the centre-forward.

"An agreement had been reached with more than one club this week but as Arsenal were unable to secure the services of another striker, they reserved their right to not sanction any deal to be concluded.

"Naturally, I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to a new challenge, with a new club and a fresh start in English football."

Bendtner added that he still feels "very strongly about Arsenal" and has already talked with manager Arsene Wenger over his role in the team.

"Many things have been said about my where my future lies after many years at Arsenal," the statement continued. "The truth is I just want to play football which is when I'm happiest and Arsenal is a fantastic environment for any professional to apply their trade.

"I still feel very strongly about Arsenal and following positive talks with the manager, I am looking forward to working hard to regain full fitness and doing my very best to help to the team and the Manager fulfil our objectives and ambitions this season.

"I've learnt a lot from my loan experiences at Sunderland and Juventus and I want to assure all Arsenal fans that I will give everything I have to contribute to what I believe will be a successful season for the club."

The 25-year-old joined Arsenal as a trainee in 2004.
