MLS target Anelka only thinking of Chelsea stay

Nicolas Anelka is only thinking of staying with Chelsea.

The France striker, who broke through as a teenager at Arsenal in 1997/98, insists he still has plenty to offer as Chelsea prepare for Thursday's friendly against a Malaysia XI at the sold-out 84,000 Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

"I am still here and still very pleased to be with Chelsea. I like a challenge," Anelka told the London Evening Standard.

"It is all part of the game and when you play at a club like Chelsea you have to be ready to meet the challenge from wherever it comes.

"Every single member of this squad will have to fight to play and I am ready to fight."
