Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 02:41

Former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka says he chose Shanghai Shenhua over PSG.

Anelka signed for the Chinese mega spenders last month.

"I was contacted by an intermediary of Qatar Investment Authority," he told Canal+. "I did not want to go to PSG because I had already played there.
