Chelsea Star Wanted By Spanish Outfit

Real Betis are plotting an audacious attempt to sign Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka on a free transfer.

The 32-year-old Frenchman is in the final 12 months of his contract and has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer with the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and several MLS sides credited with an interest in his services.

Anelka faces increasing competition for a place in Andre Villas-Boas' side after the arrivals of Romelu Lukaku and Juan Mata at the club.

And according to The Mirror, Betis are looking to lure the former Arsenal, Manchester City and Bolton forward to Spain.

Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas earlier this month dismissed reports that either Anelka or Didier Drogba would leave the club this month.

But although Anelka stated earlier this summer that he was happy to stay at the club and fight for his place in the side, it is thought he is open to a move.
