Nicklas Bendtner hints at Arsenal exit... and Lazio ready to offer loan escape route

Nicklas Bendtner has again hinted he could leave Arsenal, and Lazio are ready to offer him an escape route from north London. The Denmark striker, who has been reduced to a bit-part role with the Gunners this term, is a loan target for the Serie A side. And with Robin van Persie, Marouane Chamakh and Andrey Arshavin all ahead of Bendtner in the strikers' pecking order at Arsenal, the 23-year-old admitted he may have to look elsewhere for first-team football.

Lazio, however, are short on firepower and want to take Bendtner to Rome for the remainder of this season, according to Corriere dello Sport.   Empty handed: Wenger refuses to splash the cash on big namesBarca lower sights to £10m Denilson as Fabregas deal is threatenedAll I want for Xmas.
