Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is on the verge of sealing a €10 million move to Sporting Lisbon, according to reports.

The Dane was given permission to miss Arsenal’s training camp in Germany last week and has been reportedly pictured in Portugal where talks are in their final stages.

According to Correio da Manha, Sporting are looking to close the deal in time to reveal the 23-year-old at the club’s presentation on Saturday against Valencia.

The striker has struggled to hold down a first team place at the Emirates and the recent arrival of Gervinho has pushed him further down the pecking order.

He will leave two shy of a century of Premier League appearances for the Gunners, having scored 22 league goals.

Everton were believed to have been keen on a loan move for Bendtner.
