Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has backed season-long loan signing Nicklas Bendtner to make a big impact during his spell at the Stadium of Light.
The pair have worked together previously when Bruce signed the Denmark international on a temporary basis during his spell in charge of Birmingham City.
"I've had the privilege of working with Nicklas previously. I had him as an 18-year-old and he helped clinch promotion for Birmingham.
"He's an outstanding talent and is a big, physical presence who will lead the line magnificently for us."
Bendtner, 23, made his debut for parent club Arsenal in 2005 against the Black Cats.
