It has been reported today in The Mail that Manchester United are to step up their interests in Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka.The French striker is said to be a January target of a number of clubs with Chelsea and United favourites for his signature.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been linked with the 28-year old on numerous occasions over the years and he is said to be very keen to offer Anelka an escape route from an under achieving Bolton side.
Anelka has scored eight goals in a Bolton side that lies just outside the drop zone. Although Anelka signed a new contract at the club during the summer, Bolton boss Gary Megson has admitted that he feels Anelka will leave the club in January.
I think £15 million is a tiny bit too dear for a 28-year old. I feel he would a be a perfect signing for Chelsea because with only Didier Drogba really performing well on a regular basis at the club I think it's vital they bring in a new front man.
