Anelka reiterates stance

Nicolas Anelka has praised new boss Gary Megson and has again reiterated his desire to stay at the club despite persistent interest in his services from Chelsea and Man Utd.

"I am happy here," Anelka said.

"It is nice for me because there is a good understanding in the dressing room.

"I will never forget what Bolton have done for me because they gave me the chance to come back to England and play football here."

Anelka also praised the impact that Megson has had in his short time with the club.

"Since the new manager came in, we have become much more compact," he said.

"We have started to keep clean sheets again, which is important, and maybe we are getting back to the situation where no-one likes to play Bolton."
