Roberto Carlos admits Anzhi want Chelsea striker Anelka, Arsenal's Van Persie

Anzhi player-coach Roberto Carlos admits they're keen on Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka. The Brazilian great says Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie is also under consideration.

Having already been linked with England coach Fabio Capello, along with midfielders Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, Roberto Carlos admits they have other targets in the Premier League.

"Anelka is not the only player. Nene from PSG and Van Persie from Arsenal are players we are following," the Brazilian told TV show Canal Football Club.

He also confirmed that the club are still tracking Brazilian wonderkid Neymar.

"Neymar? I talked to him. If Real, Barca or Man United cannot pay the transfer fee, we will pay it. Suleyman Kerimov can offer what he wants."
