Chelsea will shift Nicolas Anelka out of Stamford Bridge to make way for a new striker.
The Frenchman is believed to want to return to France with Paris St Germain the likeliest suitors.
Anelka has lost out to Didier Drogba innthe battle to stay at SW6.
And with Newcastle about to offer £7m for Paris St Germain striker Mevlut Erdinc, Anelka appears to be the perfect replacement..
New boss Andre Villas-Boas has said that he will assess all his players when they return to Cobham for pre-season duty this week before making any decisions about ins and outs of players but, the club has already made overtures to several clubs that Anelka is available.
