Former Blackburn and Spurs midfielder Tim Sherwood believes Nicolas
Anelka is the man to re-establish Chelsea's title challenge.
Speaking on "Macca's Monday Night" football show, Sherwood,
Blackburn's captain when they won the Premiership title in 1995,
said he thought Anelka would provide the pace and scoring prowess
to help Chelsea challenge Manchester United for the title.
"I would not be surprised if Anelka is a Chelsea man come the new
year," Sherwood said on Setanta Sports 1.
"I think Man United have sorted it out now, theyve got enough
strikers.
"Shevchenko is never going to turn into a 20-goal-a-season striker
now its finished for him now.
"I think Anelkas the man. Get Anelka and itll give Chelsea a real
real boost."
Chelsea are currently seven points behind leaders Arsenal, and have
played one game more than the unbeaten Gunners.
