Shanghai claim Anelka deal

Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua claim they have agreed terms with Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka.

It was reported earlier in the week that the French forward was mulling over a move to Asian football having handed in a transfer request at Stamford Bridge.
Anelka, 32, is currently training away from the first-team squad at Chelsea and looks destined to be on the move in January with Shanghai Shenhua confident he will be linking up with them.
"We have agreed on all the contract details and we are only waiting for him to sign it," said club official Ma Yue.
The Chinese outfit have ambitions plans for the future and are keen to raise their profile across the world.
It has been suggested that they could also make a move for Anelka's Chelsea team-mate Didier Drogba.
The Ivorian will see his contract with the Blues expire next summer, and he is yet to agree fresh terms.
Ma admits Shanghai Shenhua would be keen to land Drogba, with contact having been made, but he has made it clear that no deal is close.
"So far, on Drogba to move to Shenhua, our club has no clear confirmation," he added.
