Bendtner threatens to quit Arsenal

Nicklas Bendtner has threatened to quit Arsenal.

The striker last night threatened to quit Arsenal unless he becomes a regular starter.

The Dane, who has started only two games this season after injury, said: "If the situation doesn't change and I'm still on the bench at Arsenal, I'll look for a transfer. That's obvious.

"I feel I've done everything right in getting back to fitness.

"I feel better than before the injury and at that point I was in the starting 11 and close to fulfilling my potential. When I'm 100 per cent fit, I can't accept sitting on the bench.

"I'm turning 23 soon and it's important to my development and further career to play regularly.

"I'll just say that I'm 100 per cent good enough for the starting 11 in Arsenal.

"If my manager feels differently that's fair, and he's the one choosing the team, but then I disagree."
