ARSENAL frontman Nicklas Bendtner believes he can forge a successful strike partnership with Emmanuel Adebayor.
The pair had a very public bust-up when they clashed on the White Hart Lane pitch as Arsenal slipped to a 5-1 Carling Cup semi-final defeat against arch-rivals Spurs earlier this season.
Adebayor appeared to strike the Dane, before a spat ensued. Ever since many pundits have suggested the duo don't want to play together and are unlikely to form a successful partnership.
But Bendtner has denied reports of an ongoing rift with the Togolese forward and feels suggestions they can't play together are wide of the mark.
"People keep saying we are too similar in style and things like that. But I think it can work just fine," he said in The Sun.
"We combined for a goal against Aston Villa earlier this month. And I think it went quite well when we played Wigan.
"We found each other a few times - though it wasn't easy on that surface!
"I think it's good for me to be able to help the team in whatever way I can.
"This season it was very important for us to show everyone that we are at the top of English football.
"That's where we belong and where we have always belonged. If we can carry on now and get a trophy, it will be fantastic."
