He might not have played much in the last few years, but former Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner is becoming something of a lucky charm for his clubs.
The Danish forward has fewer than 50 performances to his name in the last three seasons, but his clubs have won trophies in each of those campaigns.
That three-in-three record is better than former Gunners strike partner Robin van Persie, though his personal contribution has been minimal to say the least.

The run began in 2012-13, when Bendtner’s loan spell with Juventus ended with the club securing the Serie A title, despite him failing to find the net.
In 2013-14 he made a grand total of 14 appearances in league and cup for Arsenal, earning an FA Cup winner’s medal despite missing out on the final.
And when new club Wolfsburg saw off Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup final, the unlikely treble was completed. Of course he celebrated in style.
