Arsenal boss not bitter about old boy Anelka's success

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is pleased former Gunner Nicolas Anelka is once again with a big club. Wenger will come face to face with the much-travelled Frenchman when Chelsea entertain The Gunners on Sunday.

"I feel he had a strange career because he had a fantastic start and after he played in some clubs - who were mid-table clubs - now he is coming back to the top," Wenger said on the club's website.

"I'm not surprised because he always had the same talent but that was not always coming to the top.

"No disrespect to Bolton but it is easier to be a top-level goalscorer when you play in a big team instead of teams who do not create as many chances."
