Bolton's Anelka happy with Man Utd, Chelsea interest

Bolton Wanderers striker Nicolas Anelka admits he's happy by the interest of bigger clubs.

New Bolton boss Gary Megson has recently acknowledged the France international could leave, with Anelka keen to play for a club competing in the Champions League.

And while he conceded there has been no firm contact from any other clubs, the 28-year-old is waiting to see if there are any developments.

"As in the window this summer, there is a lot of speculation," Anelka told his official website. "No offer has been made yet.

"When this happens, I will talk publicly, but for the moment, I can confirm that there is nothing at all."

Regarding interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, Anelka added: "I feel very flattered by these comments, but I keep my feet on the ground. Nothing has been communicated to me, so for me there's nothing.

"I feel well in Bolton, but as I have said before, I want to evolve at a big club that seeks to be in the Champions League.

"Now, if nothing happens, I would be glad to stay."
