Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner has rejected an offer from Spartak Moscow.

The Dane, 20, unpopular with many Gunners fans, has been the target of the Russian club for some time.

Spartak coach Michael Laudrup would love to sign the £7million-rated star, says the Mirror.

But Bendtner has told friends that even if the two clubs were to agree a fee he would not move to Spartak, who are out of Europe.

He wants to stay at Arsenal to be "in view of the best European clubs and national team coaches".
