Anelka loves Chelsea life

Anelka loves Chelsea life

27 March 2008 - 21:08

Despite failing to win a consistent starting berth at Chelsea, £15 million January signing from Bolton, Nicolas Anelka, has insisted he is loving life at Stamford Bridge. Anelka helped the Blues to victory over his old club Arsenal at the weekend.

  • Chelsea make firm decision on Marc Guehi
  • Chelsea striker won't return after temporary stint

  • "I am already very happy to have signed for a club like Chelsea. I have been waiting for that since my departure from Liverpool six years ago," Anelka told L'Equipe. "Even if I don't always play in the centre, that is not so serious.



    “With the number of matches we are playing, there has not been a lot of time to work on my partnership with Didier Drogba. Am I keen to play regularly on the left flank? No, I have never played on the left before in England.



    "People who have worked with me know my qualities are in the centre and I believe the Chelsea coach knows it. He uses me alone on the centre or on the flank, but it is not a big trouble to me so far.



    "I will be 32 at the end of my Chelsea contract. If they want to keep me I will stay. Otherwise you never know. I can move to USA or come back to Paris Saint Germain. It is an option I can't exclude."
