Make me Arsenal's front man: Nicklas Bendtner tells Arsene Wenger to restore him to central role

Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner has pleaded with Arsene Wenger to restore him to hisfavoured position up front. Bendtner has been used in a wide role this season, with Dutchman Robin van Persie taking the central role in a front three. But the Denmark forward craves a return to his favoured striking spot. 'I am an attacker not a winger. I have always seen myself as a striker and it is my goal to play as a striker all the time," said Bendtner, who scored for Denmark in their 1-1 draw with Portugal in Copenhagen. 'It is important for me to play and when Arsene tells me to play in a position, I'll do that. 'Last season I played a lot from the left side and this season from the right side but, like I said, I prefer to play up front.'
