Just like the majority of his efforts at goal for Arsenal, here is Nicklas Bendtner attempting a selfie... and he misses the target.

The misfiring Danish striker, who has scored four goals in 15 appearances in all competitions for the league leaders this season, posted this picture on his Instagram page today, and missed out the all-important head-shot, focusing more on his radiators.

The 26-year-old has recently returned to the Gunners line-up this season after recovering from an ankle injury, and with no new attacking arrivals at the Emirates over the transfer window, he should have much less time on his hands for Selfies during the second half of the season.

To appease his 96,000 followers, he quickly posted a photo with his head in after, although it was obscured with sunglasses and a beanie hat.
