In an interview given to Ekstra Bladet last June and published on our website, Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner revealed this season was supposed to be the one where he would get his “big breakthrough”. Unfortunately, injuries prevented him from securing a regular place with the Gunners but he’s now back and ready to reach his goals objective.

In June, as he was archiving the season, the 22-year old said how 15 goals per season was a satisfactory score but he would have been delighted to add more this year and in fact, speaking to the London Evening Standard today, he said how if he keeps on scoring in every game this season, the objective will be reached.

Bendtner said:

It has been very frustrating because I set myself a target at the start of the season. Obviously, because of my injury it has been really difficult to make that target.

It is nice to be back scoring again and I need to score two goals in all the remaining games to reach that.
