Former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is being lined up for a return to England with Queens Park Rangers.

Bendtner, 28, is a free agent after being released by his former club German side Wolfsburg.

QPR boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is keen on improving his side's attacking options and he sees Bendtner's experience and talents as an added advantage to his squad.

The Denmark international moved to Germany in the summer of 2014 after his contract at Arsenal expired. Bendtner made over 100 appearances during his nine years with the Gunners, scoring 24 goals.

While with Arsenal, Bendtner had three spells out on loan with Birmingham, Sunderland and Juventus as he struggled to hold down a regular place in Arsene Wenger's side.

QPR are ready to give Bendtner the chance to get his career back on track in England by offering him a move to Loftus Road.

QPR have made a comfortable start to the season, winning two of their opening four Championship fixtures.
