Nicklas Bendtner has seen his Porsche Worth £280,000 seized after he lost an appeal against driving offences in Denmark.
The 35-year-old made an appeal after Copenhagen’s city court impounded his Porsche Taycan Turbo S in October 2021.
On Thursday morning, May 11, Denmark’s Eastern High Court upheld the verdict, forcing the retired player to say goodbye to his luxury car.
Bendtner’s lawyer Anja Velbaek Mouridsen initaially told the court that: “It is disproportionate to confiscate a car worth 2.4million krone [£280k] given the nature of the crime.”
The former Gunners striker previously claimed that during the 2021 trial that his valid UK licence entitled him to drive in Denmark.
However, it was argued that Bendtner needed to regain his Danish licence after being disqualified in 2013.
The former player has now acquired a driver’s license as he reportedly turned up to last week’s hearing driving a ‘more modest’ Volvo.
Nicklas Bendtner has a history of court appearances in his home city and this judgement is the latest legal blow for the Denmark international.

In 2013 also, Bendtner received a three-year motoring ban and fine for drink-driving.
Bendtner spent nine seasons with Arsenal at the Emirates stadium, scoring 45 goals in 171 games.
