Wenger not looking for Henry replacementLONDON, July 20, 2007 (AFP) - Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insisted Friday that he would not be looking to recruit a striker to replace Thierry Henry and had no intention of bidding for Bolton's French forward Nicolas Anelka.
"We've signed Eduardo (Da Silva). We're not going to collect strikers, we buy strikers that we need," said Wenger.
"This season we're expecting great progress from Nicklas Bendtner and that he will show us other sides of his talent."
Da Silva, the top scorer in the Croatian league with Dynamo Zagreb, has signed for four years with the Gunners, but it remains to be seen whether he can fill the gap left by Henry who has joined Barcelona.
Denmark's Bendtner played last season in the Championship after being loaned by Arsenal to Birmingham City where he scored 11 goals
