Anelka forgets problems to pen deal

Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has signed a one-year extension to his contract at the club just days after being sent home from the World Cup.

Anelka verbally insulted Raymond Domenech during France's clash with Mexico and then missed training after reports of a row with the coach during their 2-0 defeat.

Anelka refused to apologise when asked to by French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes and subsequently left the squad as France bowed out of the competition at the group stage in disgrace.

But Anelka was quick to put his international problems behind him by committing himself to Chelsea until 2012.

Anelka's contract was due expire next year but France's early exit meant Chelsea could finally seal a contract extension that had been put on hold as the club concentrated on winning the Premier League and FA Cup double.

A spokesperson for the club confirmed: "Chelsea is delighted to announce that Nicolas Anelka has signed a one-year extension to his existing contract that will keep him at the club until 2012".

Anelka, 31-year-old, was delighted to pledge his future to the double-winners and insisted he had no plans to move on.

"When I first came to Chelsea I wanted to stay much longer than I did in the past with other clubs", said Anelka.

"It is a big club, you play with big players and I like this club, I like London."

"There is no need to move anymore and so I am very glad to sign a new contract and I know we will play in big games and win titles. I am very glad."

Anelka's decision to stay has delighted Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

"Nicolas is a fantastic player who has good technical qualities and movement", said Ancelotti.

Anelka has appeared 123 times for Chelsea since arriving from Bolton in January 2008. He has scored 42 goals.

Eduardo set to leave Arsenal

The 27-year-old has struggled to return from the broken leg and dislocated ankle he suffered in 2008 that almost ended his football career, failing to score in his final 12 matches for the Gunners.

Wenger recently signed former Girondins Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh to pair upfront with Robin van Persie and the Frenchman believes that Eduardo should try to rejuvenate his career at a different club, according to Daily Mail.

The Croatian is believed to favour a move to a different European league in order to leave the more physical Premier League.

Liverpool to appoint Roy Hodgson as manager on Thursday



Roy Hodgson is expected to be unveiled as Liverpool manager on Thursday.

The Fulham manager has refused to wait around whilst the Football Association agonise over whether to offer Fabio Capello a stay of execution following England's World Cup exit, despite initially eyeing the role if the national side had not defeated Slovenia last Wednesday.

Hodgson's first order of business will be to preside over offers for the club's key duo of Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard, with a £20 million bid being tabled by Real Madrid for the Liverpool captain's services.

Chelsea are hoping that they can prise Torres away from Merseyside for less than his £60 million asking price due to Liverpool's financial problems, with debts incurred by owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks continuing to exceed £351 million.

The Blues, who were Hodgson's local rivals during his 2-and-a-half year reign at Craven Cottage, believe that an offer of £25 million could be enough to lure Torres, 26-year-old, to Stamford Bridge and the prospect of Champions League football could be too strong for him to resist.

Hodgson's appointment is set to be greeted with little fanfare from the Kop especially if it ends Kenny Dalglish's future at the club, with the Scot understood to be considering walking away from Anfield should his longstanding friend be named as manager.

Dalglish had told the board that he wished to be considered for the same role he vacated in 1991 due to a lack of strong candidates in the frame to succeed Rafael Benitez, who joined Inter Milano after parting company with Liverpool earlier this month.

Benayoun părăseşte Anfield. Va juca pentru următorii 3 ani la Chelsea.

Mijlocaşul israelian în vârstă de 30 de ani, Yosef Benayoun, a schimbat tabăra. Fostul jucător al lui Liverpool va fi pentru următoarele trei sezoane echipierul celor de la Chelsea.

Suma pentru care s-a realizat mutarea dintre granzii din Premier League nu a fost confirmată oficial, însă se estimează că suma oscilează între cinci şi şase milioane de lire. Fotbalistul israelian este văzut de oficialii de pe Stamford Bridge drept înlocuitorul perfect pentru Joe Cole.

"Sunt foarte emoţionat pentru că am semnat cu Chelsea, este un club mare şi cred că reprezintă visul oricărui jucător. Sper să am evoluţii foarte bune" , a declarat Benayoun pentru site-ul oficial al londonezilor.

Şi tehnicianul "Albaştrilor" este încântat de noul său jucător : "Suntem foarte fericiţi că am reuşit să-l transferăm pe acest fotbalist. Yossi este un mijlocaş de calitate şi poate evolua chiar pe mai multe posturi"

Purtătorul de cuvânt al celor de la Liverpool a precizat că mutarea a fost una stabilită cu mult timp înainte: "Plecarea lui Yossi s-a realizat de comun acord cu jucătorul şi Rafael Benitez în urmă cu câteva săptămâni. Toţi cei de la Liverpool îi urează succes lui Benyoun la noul său club".

În cei 3 ani petrecuţi pe Anfield, Benayoun a jucat în 92 de partide şi a marcat 18 goluri.

Torres to miss start of season

Liverpool striker Fernando Torres is likely to miss the start of the season with the muscle tear he sustained during the World Cup final.

The Spanish FA have reported that Torres sustained a "grade one muscle fibre rupture in the left thigh" and while a grade one rupture is the least-serious type - consisting of minor tears within the muscle - Spanish news network Cadena Ser reported that it remains unlikely that Torres will be fit in time for Liverpool's opening Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Torres failed to shine during Spain's World Cup triumph in South Africa, failing to score in his first 5 matches before being demoted to the bench for the semi-final and final.

Drogba is likely to miss the start of the season

The club described the procedure performed on the Ivory Coast international as "minimally invasive".

And it is expected that Drogba, 32-year-old, will return to full training in about 3 weeks.

That estimate would, however, put him out of the Community Shield match against Manchester United on 8 August and the start of the Premier League campaign.

A short statement on Chelsea's official website said he had been troubled by a groin injury for part of last season and the decision to have the operation on Friday was intended to "optimise his rehabilitation".

Drogba has been a prolific scorer for Chelsea since joining them from French club Olympique Marseille in July 2004 for a reported fee of £24 million and was on target 37 times during the 2009-2010 season to help the team to a first Premier League and FA Cup double.

Chelsea have a serious of injury concerns ahead of the new Premier League campaign, which they will begin with a home match against newly promoted West Bromwich on 14 August.

New signing Yossi Benayoun also has a groin problem, first-choice goalkeeper Petr Cech is expected to be out for about a month because of a calf injury and defender Alex hurt his thigh in training.
