"Nicklas Bendtner is a striker in his prime, who in his career, which has not always been very straightforward, has collected a lot of international experience and our attacking quality is increased even further with his skills", Wolfsburg sporting director Klaus Allofs told the club's site.
And club coach Dieter Hecking added: "We want to play a good role in all three competitions this season, but we need players who are aware of these challenges and are used to them.
