Nicklas Bendtner has insisted he has no intention of leaving Arsenal in January and is vowing to fight for his place.

The Danish forward has found his route to a regular start at the Emirates blocked by the presence of summer signing Marouane Chamakh and has been linked with a winter move away from the club - with the likes of Bayern Munich and Lazio purported to be interested.

Bendtner has looked frustrated at times, but he was handed a start against Wigan and did his cause no harm by helping himself to a goal in the 2-2 draw.

The forward is aware of the competition for places at Arsenal, with Robin van Persie also fit again and pushing for a start, but he has no intention of cutting his losses in January.

"I won't be loaned out," Bendtner said. "That's not going to happen.

"I've got the patience to wait until I get the chance and when I get it I'll take the starting place that I definitely feel is mine."
