Nicolas Anelka Ready To Sign New Contract With Chelsea
Frenchman happy at "home"...
The Frenchman played for six different clubs in nine years before joining the Blues in 2008. The nomadic hitman believes that he has now found a home where he could see out his playing days.
"I hope to sign a new contract soon," Anelka told the News of the World.
"I am very happy at Chelsea. I have found a home.
"Ever since I left Real Madrid, I wanted to find a big club again and I have with Chelsea.
"It is a big club with big players.
"I feel I am playing the best football of my career and want to carry on playing my best days with Chelsea."
The 30-year-old still has 18 months left on his current £80,000-a-week deal, and is reportedly set to sign a fresh one that would take his earnings well over the £100,000 mark.
