Reds boss Rafa Benitez is keen to add depth to his forward line over
the summer, and reports from England claim he is considering a shock
swoop for the Danish youngster.
The 20-year-old has received
limited opportunities with the Gunners due to the emergence of Togolese
striker Emmanuel Adebayor, with whom the Dane has had a rather drastic
falling out.
Bendtner has generally struggled to live up to his
billing as one of the most promising young strikers in Europe, although
late last season he exhibited glimpses of his significant potential.
Wenger
will be reluctant to sell given the respective injury issues of Robin
van Persie and Eduardo da Silva, not to mention the growing uncertainly
surrounding Adebayor’s future at the Emirates.
But Benitez will
almost certainly have to replace the unsettled Peter Crouch, and is
willing to offer ₤6million for a player Wenger snatched virtually free
of charge from Copenhagen outfit Kjøbenhavns Boldklub.
The deal
would prove something of a coup if it went through, given that almost
all Premier League clubs flat-out refuse to trade with their rivals
these days – as evidenced by Benitez’s failure to secure defender
Gabrielle Heinze from Manchester United last summer.

I think Ah Ben is looking for another clown to entertain the fans.
Maybe another player to take away the limelight from him when the heat is on.
This guy seems to be a flop and joke, worse of all, he is from arsenal.
I rather Ah Ben spend the $$$ to bring Henry to Liverpool from Barca.
Stop wasting $$$ buying flops.
i prefer crouchie anytime over this guy.. but bendtner seems to be good in air..
