Arsenal's Bendtner wanted by two Russian sides.. says Bendtner's agent

Nicklas Bendtner could make a big-money move to Russia this summer. Out-of-favour Arsenal striker Bendtner is a target for Anzhi Makhachkala and Zenit St Petersburg, according to his agent. It is also understood that German clubs Hamburg and Stuttgart are monitoring developments after the Denmark international’s season-long loan from the Gunners to Italian giants Juventus turned into a disaster.

John Stones will be at centre of a £50m transfer scramble in the summer, with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Chelsea all keen to sign him. Everton turned down the opportunity to sell their highly-rated centre half last summer, rejecting a £38million bid from Chelsea.
