Borussia Dortmund are set to awake Nicklas Bendtner from his Arsenal nightmare with rumours the German giants are preparing a £11 million bid for the disgruntled striker. Goal.com has announced that with the imminent departure of Lucas Barrios the Black and Yellows are eager to gain the Danish sharp shooter.

The 23 year old stated his desire to depart the Emirates following a disappointing season in which the Denmark international managed a mere three Premier League starts. Despite still managing to secure 10 goals, Arsene Wenger was tentative to utilize Bendtner consistently, much due to the immense form of Robin van Persie who managed 18 goals in 17 appearances following the New Year. The striker was often utilized as a winger off the bench which restricted Bendtner's overall impact.

No one rates Bendtner higher than himself and with desires to play consistently in order to fulfil the reputation he instilled upon himself, a move appears beneficial for the FC Copenhagen youth. At £11 million, Wenger is certain to accept the offer as the Frenchman eyes the likes of Gervinho, Radamel Falcao and Karim Benzema.

It's rare to see Arsenal youngsters who are allowed to depart the Emirates, either because simply they do not possess the calibre to thrive at the North London giants or because they feel opportunities are restricted to them, looking likely to become a big thing in English football.

Who remembers Quincy Owusu-Abeyie, Abu Ogogo and Rene Steer?

However one player who appears to be heading in the right direction is Cedric Evina. The Cameroon born defender rose up through the Arsenal academy ranks, playing an integral role in the Arsenal youth sensastional 2008/2009 achievement of the FA Youth Cup and Premier League Academy. Evina also captained the youth side in 2009/2010.

Evina was then given the routine opportunity of a loan stint last season. The 19 year old was sent to Oldham Athletic where the Cameroonian was superb, thriving on consistent playing time. This resulted in Evina demanding a release from Arsenal to sign permanently with Paul Dickov's side. Evina amassed 28 appearances and a goal for the League One outfitl.

However the long commute from family and frieds ensured Evina desired a move close to London which has now resulted in a two year deal with Charlton Athletic. The teenager is viewed as a promising prospect who has the ability to make in the English Premier League.

Newcastle's search for added attacking flair took a wrong turn as manager Alan Pardew confirmed the termination of his interest in Wigan Athletic star Charles N'Zogbia. The Magpies are eager to instill increased creativity to their midfield after releasing Kevin Nolan and Joey Barton.
