  Anelka takes aim at unambitious Arsenal as ex-Gunner claims Chelsea are a bigger club

  

  In the blue corner: Nicolas Anelka is enjoying life at 'mega club' Chelsea

  

  Young gun: Anelka on target in his Arsenal days

   

  Nicolas Anelka believes Chelsea are bigger than Arsenal because his former club are no longer considered genuine title rivals.

  A League and Cup Double winner with Arsenal, Anelka was hugely popular at Highbury before engineering a £23million move to Real Madrid in 1999.

  But the France striker believes his former club now target a top four finish rather than silverware.

  'Chelsea are a mega club composed of top players, within which you have to win every game because you are put under massive pressure,' Anelka told Les Dessous du Sport. 'You have to win week in, week out.

   

  'It is different from at Arsenal. There is a context surrounding the club because of the chairman (Roman Abramovich) that makes people speak about Chelsea, more than about Arsenal.

   

  'Arsenal are composed of young players, playing for third or fourth place, but we do not really speak about them for the title. But Chelsea are like Real Madrid. The pressure is huge.'

   

  Despite his claims, Anelka revealed the debt he owes to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger for bringing him to England back in 1997.

  'I still enjoy a tremendous relationship with Arsene Wenger,' Anelka said. 'You must respect such a manager for all the things he has done for so many players.

  'Thanks to him I got to know England and I am still there despite all the things that happened throughout my career.'

  This Anelka one kind .....

  When he was at PSG , he claimed Arsenal bigger than PSG .

  Then he went to Real , claiming Real bigger than Arsenal .

  Then he went back to France , claiming France is where he belong ...

  Then to Bolton , claiming Bolton is a underrated big club .

  Then to Liverpool , claiming Liverpool is the club any player would love to pay for ....

  Then so on until Chelsea ....

  I would be surprise if he go to Man City .

  He'll go whichever club is rich .
