Bendtner is frustrated at a lack of regular first-team action at the Emirates Stadium this season.
“Nicklas is 100 per cent open now to a change of clubs,” Thomas Bendtner said in the Daily Mirror.
“He has made his decision and he has told it to Arsenal.
“Nicklas needs to be playing from the start so, sadly, he must leave.
“He wanted to finish the season first, so no-one could say he didn’t fight for a first-team place right until the end.”
He added: “There is real interest from both English and German clubs, and Bayern Munich were after him, earlier. It’s very exciting.
“But talk about Aston Villa is rubbish. He has not met anyone from there.”
