Nicolas Anelka agrees to join Shanghai Shenhua

Shanghai Shenhua said on Sunday that Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka had agreed to join the club in a major coup for Chinese football.

Club spokesman Ma Yue announced that the 32-year-old Frenchman could start playing for the team in January.

The former Arsenal and Real Madrid star will be the biggest name to appear in China's Super League, which is growing in stature despite significant corruption problems that have left several officials facing jail.

In July, Argentine midfielder Dario Conca became China's most expensive signing - and reportedly, one of the world's best paid players - when he inked a US$10 million (S$12.9 million) deal with Guangzhou Evergrande.
