Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to let the striker leave the club after giving him permission ‘to sort out his future’ instead of taking part in a friendly against Cologne and training camp in Germany.
Bendtner is expected to be keen on a move away from the Gunners following the arrival of Ivory Coast forward Gervinho at the Emirates Stadium.
Bendtner has been photographed in Portugal and is expected to complete a move to Sporting over the weekend.
