Arsenal starlet Nicklas Bendtner is confident he can force his way into Arsene Wenger's plans next season.
The 19-year-old striker, who has been on loan at Birmingham this season, has agreed a new five-year deal at Emirates Stadium and is now determined to make his mark for The Gunners.
"It has always been my goal to get my breakthrough at Arsenal," he told TV2.
"There were no other clubs that were interesting for me. I know I have the right qualities, or will be able to develop them.
"I truly believe that I can break through on that level, and I have had meetings with them where they have told me that I figure in their plans for the future.
"If that had not happened, neither they nor I would have signed this deal."
Bendtner acknowledges that other forwards at the club may be better placed at present as they have more experience within the squad and of the Premiership, but he does not believe it will hinder him.
"The other [strikers] may have an advantage over me, but when I restart training and get some good matches under my belt, I am sure I will get my chance and I will take it."
