Arsenal's Bendtner opens door for permanent Sunderland move

Nicklas Bendtner says his loan deal with Sunderland could quite easily end as a permanent move.

The 23-year old Danish striker is spending the season with the Black Cats from Arsenal and he is enjoying his football so much that he could make the Stadium of Light his permanent home despite the fact his goal is to again play in the Champions League.

"I've never hidden the fact that I'm very keen to play in the Champions League again," he said.

"But I also read that I'd said if I don't play in the Champions League, I won't be playing for Sunderland.

"That is not the case but I know how they misinterpret Danish into English.

"As a player you should have ambition - I'm sure every player you speak to wants to play in the Champions League.

"But I haven't ruled out staying at Sunderland. As I've said before, I just want to enjoy the year I have here and then see what happens in the summer."
