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. Agent Tom Brooks told Russian ­ newspaper Izvestia: “We’ve had contact several times with Russian teams. “Interest has also been shown by English and Italian clubs and Nicklas would like to play regularly in the Champions League. “A large number of talented players have gone to Russia in recent years.

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.
