Hamburg SV look to be in pole position regard a permanent move for wantaway forward Nicklas Bendtner and are hoping to tie up a move for the Danish forward by the end of next week.
The Bundesliga side were sorely missing a forward in their recent match against Champions Borussia Dortmund on Friday evening losing 3-1 and whilst playing with just the one striker upfront look to be wanting to provide current hitman Petric with support in that area.
The German side have already been linked with a move for the forward however they do face competition from certain sides in Portugal and may have to pay up to £10m.
