It’s a childhood dream.
Nicklas Bendtner + Chinese Super League = Worldwide audience.
Lord Bendtner has abandoned post and won’t be helping out his Wolfsburg team mates for Wednesday night’s UEFA Champions League clash.
Gent entertain the Bundesliga outfit in what is being billed as the tie of the round – in some places.
But, for the millions around the world that were going to snub Roma v Madrid to tune into the clash in Belgium, bad news… No Nicklas Bendtner.
The former Arsenal player isn’t part of the travelling Wolfsburg squad and reports in Germany are suggesting that he is the latest big name being linked with a move to China before their transfer deadline on February 26.

The list of big-name foreign Chinese Super League players is ever-growing with new players being linked seemingly every day.
But the Bendtner rumours has hit the world exactly as you’d expect it to.

Maybe we got the news the wrong way around.

Don’t take our Nicky. Because we watch him every week for Wolfsburg.
Wait, China's taking NICKLAS BENDTNER too? This has to stop. Put up a wall. #DontTakeNickyPinkBoots

Have shirt. Is flexible.
Presume Bendtner's move to China hinges on a club's willingness to give him a triple-digit shirt number.
