Anelka joins Bolton in £8m deal

Nicolas Anelka has signed a four-year deal with Bolton after the Premiership club agreed to pay a club record £8m (€11.83m) to Fenerbahce for the French striker.

The 27-year-old, who has had previous stints in England with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, successfully completed a medical with Wanderers to become their record signing, the fee dwarfing the previous top mark of £3.5m (€5.18m) paid to Wimbledon for Dean Holdsworth in 1997.
