Chelsea Finally Sign Anelka

Filed under: Bolton, Chelsea, Transfer — James Hicks @ 4:09 pm

Chelsea get their man but its cost them £15 million of the queens finest.

It will come as no great shock to anyone that follows football that Anelka has moved away from the Reebok stadium, it was always a question of when and who rather then if. Avram Grant will have no doubt be eyeing up the fact that Anelka is still legible to play in this years Champions League and that may have swayed him to add the extra £3million onto their original bid of 12.

Anelka has signed a three and half year contract with Chelsea and time will tell if Diouf and others will follow him out of the door - as Bolton boss Gary Megson looks to rebuild his squad.

And now for a rather long and ‘impressive’ list of Anelka’s ex clubs:

Paris Saint-Germain
Arsenal
Real Madrid
Paris Saint-Germain
Liverpool (loan)
Manchester City
Fenerbahçe
Bolton Wanderers
Chelsea
