It looks like Chelsea will be doing some dealing in the transfer market come January. According to manager Andre Villas Boas, both Nicolas Anelka and Alex have formally requested a transfer from the EPL side, and the club is prepared to grant their requests.
Anelka has been generating buzz for awhile, but Ives Galarcep has a particularly interesting take on this in his latest Fox Soccer column. According to Galarcep, MLS Expansion side Montreal Impact are in talks with Anelka. They hope bringing in the Frenchman will help appeal to the French-Canadian population in Montreal, as well as give them a top name going into their first MLS season.
At any rate for Chelsea fans, it would free up a couple of spots for more moves in January.
