Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner insists he will become the world's No1 player.

The Gunners star said: "In about three years, I will be better than Zlatan. He is older than me and has now reached his peak as the top scorer in Serie A - but I have a plan, I believe in it and I am ready.

"Next season, I can finally make my breakthrough and then I still have two years to become better than Zlatan - and I will.

"By then I will be close to my peak and will be able to look upon myself as one of the world's greatest strikers."
