Three Bundesliga sides have approached Arsenal with a view to signing Nicklas Bendtner, according to his father.

Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Werder Bremen have confirmed their interest in the Danish international striker, but Thomas Bendtner believes his son is unlikely to leave the Emirates.

"Yes, I have heard about the offers from German clubs", he said.

"Nicklas is staying in Arsenal, however, unless something completely unexpected happens like he doesn't get any more playing time.

"I would be very surprised if that happened considering how he's playing right now", he added.

Bendtner scored his side's winner against Everton last week, a goal which brought his season's tally to nine.

The 20-year-old has spent much of the campaign on the bench, but Arsene Wenger appears to be warming to the idea of using Bendtner alongside Emmanuel Adebayor in attack, and appears to have offered him enough encouragement to sit tight in North London.
