Bendtner will 'respect' Arsenal

Nottingham Forest forward Nicklas Bendtner will not "go crazy" if he scores against Arsenal despite his time at the club being a distant memory.

The 28-year-old will play Arsenal in a competitive fixture for the first time when Forest face the Gunners in the EFL Cup third round on Tuesday.

"Most people don't celebrate when they score and some go absolutely crazy and start chaos, which is fun," he said.

"For me out of respect I will celebrate a little bit, but it won't be crazy."

Bendtner began his senior with Arsenal and spent nine years with the club, before moving to German side Wolfsburg in 2014.
