Arsenal striker set to stay at Birmingham

Birmingham City look set to keep on-loan Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner for the rest of the season - provided nothing 'untoward happens'.

Birmingham manager Steve Bruce told his club's official website: "I spoke to Mr Wenger on Tuesday and he has confirmed that unless something untoward happens, the agreement that we can have him for the season remains.

"It was good for him to confirm that.

"His people are here every game so they know exactly how he is performing.

"He knows that the three young lads are doing particularly well [Bendtner, Sebastian Larsson and Fabrice Muamba].

"Once the window has gone then there is no recall after that."
