Nicklas Bendtner and Denilson have signed long-term contracts with Arsenal, the English club announced on their website. Danish striker Bendtner scored 15 goals in all competitions last season and finished second in Arsenal's appearances table behind Brazilian midfielder Denilson. "Nicklas has impressed me highly with his application and determination over the last season," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the club's official website. "You can see that he wants to compete at the highest level and win things with his team-mates. He scored a number of important goals for us last season and he will look to replicate that again this year." Denilson, 21, established himself as a key player in the Gunners' midfield last term. "Denilson's contribution to the Club last season was outstanding," Wenger commented.
