Chelsea star
Nicolas Anelka has agreed a
one-year contract extension with the club until 2012.
The 31-year old striker has scored 42 goals in 138 appearances
since he joined from Bolton
Wanderers in 2008.
Speaking to the Blues' official website, he said: "When
I first came to Chelsea I wanted
to stay much longer than what I did in the past with other
clubs.
"It is a big club, you play with big players and I like this
club, I like London. There is no need to move anymore and so I am
very glad to sign a new contract and I know we will play in big
games and win titles. I am very glad."
Boss Carlo Ancelotti added:
"Nicolas is a fantastic player who has good technical qualities and
movement.
"When I was coach at Juventus
I wanted to buy him, so it is good now he has signed for me and I
think Chelsea is his home. I
look forward to working with him for one year more."
