Everyone's favourite footballer Nicklas Bendtner left English football last month, leaving Nottingham Forest before the Championship season has even finished.

The Dane signed for Forest in September and made 17 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals.

However, he didn't fancy staying for the full season and signed for Norwegian side Rosenborg.

He made a strong start to life at his new club and scored two goals in his first two games. As always, Bendtner is oozing confidence and after scoring in a 3-0 win over Sandefjord on 5th April, he was on form in a post-match interview.

When a journalist asked "Is it cool to be Nicklas Bendtner in Norway?" he had the greatest short and snappy answer ever.

"It's great to be Nicklas Bendtner everywhere."

No wonder he's been christened "Lord Bendtner" with responses like that.

Yet apparently, that's not even his nickname anymore.

The Rosenborg squad give specific nicknames to one another and Mushaga Bakenga is already occupying the "Lord" tag.

As a result, Bendtner is now being referred to as "Emperor Bendtner".

Teammate Pål André Helland revealed the new nickname and as per Nettavisen, Bendtner has also given his seal of approval.

May Nicklas Bendtner now be referred to as "Emperor" from now on.
