Anelka had become frustrated with life on the bench at Stamford Bridge and handed in a transfer request last week, which Andre Villas-Boas accepted.<br />

The Frenchman hinted that a move would be agreed in the next week or so, and it appears that the striker will make a move to China, a transfer that will undoubtedly be the highest profile move involving a player joining a Chinese club.<br />

The 32 year old rejected offers from a range of clubs including AC Milan, two unnamed American clubs and Lyon.
