Summary

CHELSEA aim to complete the signing of Nicolas Anelka before the weekend after upping their bid. Bolton rejected a pounds 12m offer and are holding out for pounds 15m for the French hitman who has scored 11 goals in 22 games this term. Anelka has told Bolton chiefs not to try to start an auction as Chelsea is the only club he will join.
