Nicklas Bendtner is being offered an escape route from Arsenal by newly-promoted Hull City.

Tigers chief Steve Bruce had the Gunners striker on loan for a season when he was in charge of Birmingham City.

Bendtner, 25, spent the 2006/07 season at St Andrews when Bruce's side were chasing promotion from the Championship.

On the move: Arsenal frontman Nicklas Bendtner is wanted by newly-promoted Hull City

Now Bruce wants the striker, who once boasted he would be the best player in the world, to join him at the KC Stadium.

Arsenal are so desperate to offload the Denmark international forward that they will pay up part of his contract as an incentive.

The Tigers will have to pay up to 3m for Bendtner, but Arsenal are desperate to get him out of the Emirates.

Hull will have to pay him more than 30,000 a week to make up the rest of the package, but Bruce wants him in his forward line.

Misfit: Bendtner failed to score a single goal during last season's loan spell at Juventus

Incredibly Bendtner spent last season on loan with Serie A side Juventus, but there is no room for him back in Turin.

He didn't score a goal for the Italians and was sent back to Arsenal at the end of the season after failing to make an impact.

Juve have just signed Carlo Tevez from Manchester City as they prepare for a dual assault in the league and Champions League next season.

Whoever in the Arsenal camp was responsible for signing Bendtne rand Chamakh (and quite a few other duds) should be sacked !

Must admit he was a decent backup when RVP was on the injury table. There was this one season where he scored 15 overall also putting one past Barcelona. Gd luck dude - moh, London, 15/07/2013 01:38 Yeah, 15 times the ball hit him and somehow ended up in the net
