Arsenal have allowed teenage star Nicklas Bendtner to remain on loan at Birmingham City until the end of the season.
The 18-year-old moved to St Andrew's in August and has enjoyed a successful spell with Steve Bruce's side to help them surge into an eight-point lead at the top of the Championship table.
The Danish striker has scored ten goals in 26 appearances for the Blues already this term.
Bendtner, who was a regular goalscorer in the Gunners' reserve side last season, made his Arsenal first-team debut in the Carling Cup victory over Sunderland last October.
He went on to make two more appearances in the Carling Cup last season but has still to make his Premiership debut for the club.
