Having failed to sign Blackburn Rovers' Roque Santa Cruz, Manchester City made a last-minute bid for Arsenal's Nicklas Bendtner on transfer deadline day, according to a report in British tabloid newspaper The Daily Mail.
Apparently, Citizens manager Mark Hughes was not willing to sanction the £25 million Blackburn were asking for the 6ft 2in Paraguayan striker.
However, the Welsh boss was still keen to add a big target man to his squad and enquired about the availability of Gunners forward Bendtner.
It is thought that a deal may have been possible, but Arsene Wenger was not willing to let the Denmark international leave before the transfer of Andrei Arshavin had been confirmed.
