HAMBURG have joined the race for Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner.
The £10million-rated striker is heading for the Emirates exit door after failing to establish himself as a first-team regular under Arsene Wenger.
Bendtner was left out of the Gunners' pre-season tour of Asia and Hamburg sporting director Frank Arnesen has confirmed he is a fan of the 23-year-old Dane.
Arnesen said: "We need more creativity in our offence. A midfielder with quality would be good for us.
"Bendtner would be a real dream, he is a very interesting player.
"He can also play as an attacking midfielder behind the attacker.
"But it would almost amount to a small miracle for us to get him.
"There are two other clubs who have made Nicklas an offer and we are unfortunately not in that position."
Benfica and AC Milan have also been linked with a move for Bendtner.
