Chelsea FC striker Nicolas Anelka wanted by Paris Saint-Germain - report

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly lining up a bid for Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka.

Reports last week had suggested Chelsea were prepared to sell Anelka as they look to bring Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez and Porto striker Falcao to the club this summer.

There have been rumblings in recent days that PSG have been considering making a bid for the striker, and according to the Daily Star Sunday, Anelka is now their top transfer target.

The Ligue 1 side have plenty of money to spend this summer following their recent take over by Qatari investors, and after being snubbed by Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto'o and Manchester United forward, a move for Anelka is now on the cards.

According to Sunday's report, Anelka will be offered a three-year contract by his home city club, although the France international wants to hold talks with new Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas before making any decisions over his future.

However, 'AVB'  is believed to be keen on using a 4-3-3 formation next season - a large reason why he is keen on raiding former club Porto for Falcao, who was a key player for the Portuguese coach at the club last season.

Recent reports suggested Anelka was not seen as part of the 33-year-old's plans for next season should he adopt that formation, and that he could be offloaded to make way for a new signing.
