'I don't blame Wenger for anything' - Bendtner opens up on relationship with ex-Arsenal boss & career regrets

The Danish striker has admitted that he allowed the luxurious lifestyle of being a footballer distract him during his time at Emirates Stadium

Nicklas Bendtner has opened up on his relationship with Arsene Wenger and his career regrets, insisting he doesn't blame the ex-Arsenal boss for his failures in north London.

Bendtner began his professional career at Arsenal in 2005, having risen through the club's youth ranks as a teenager.

He went on to appear in 174 games in all competitions for the Gunners, scoring a respectable 47 goals, despite never quite managing to nail down a regular spot in Wenger's starting XI.
