The former France international plyed his trade for Mumbai City FC last season, but was unable to contribute regularly due to the lack of match fitness.

However, it has now been confirmed that Anelka has rejoined the Mumbai outfit as a player-manager.

Former Arsenal striker Fredrik Ljungberg was the club's marquee player last season, but that role has now been given to the Frenchman who will pocket an increased wage package.
