Though he spent the last year at the Emirates, he had loan spells at Sunderland in the 2011-12 season and Juventus for the following campaign.
The Bundesliga club were well-pleased with their newest acquisition, and believe he still has the ability to help his new team achieve success in the coming year.
Bendtner will hope to be in action on the first matchday of the new season as Wolfsburg face reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.
