Sven hints at Anelka move

Sven-Goran Eriksson has admitted that there is a chance he may make a move from Anelka during the transfer window. The Bolton striker has already played for Man City before, and a second spell at the Citizens could tempt the Frenchman.

Anelka left City just under three years ago but it now looks as though a return to the club could be on the cards in the New Year.

"Anelka is very good," Eriksson told the Sunday Mirror.

"His pace and ability are fantastic. He is a player who I almost bought for Lazio.

"When he left Arsenal, I was sitting in the home of David Dein with Arsene Wenger for a full day hoping to do a deal.

"I was also with Lazio's directors, but in the end it didn't happen because Real Madrid came in."
