Milan Line Up Anelka
AC Milan are preparing a £12.5m bid for Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka, according to British newspaper The Daily Star.
The Frenchman is widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the Premiership and the Rossoneri see the 28-year-old as the perfect solution to their forward crisis.
Milan currently have just three senior strikers in their first-team squad. Filippo Inzaghi is now 34 and has failed to score in Serie A since January.
Alberto Gilardino, with the exception of his two goals against Lazio a fortnight ago, has been a huge disappointment, and has been roundly booed and jeered by his own fans at times this season.
Brazilian superstar Ronaldo has yet to play this campaign due to a troublesome knee-injury and his return to the playing field has been repeatedly put back.
Teenage wonderkid Alexandre Pato is eligible to play for Milan from January onwards, having signed from Internacional, however the European Champions are still desperate for more striking options.
Anelka could fit the bill and it is unlikely Le Sulk will need much persuading given Bolton struggles this season.
The pacy frontman has been something of a journeyman during his career, playing for a host of clubs including Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Manchester City. He has also played 42 times for France, scoring 11 times.

A couple of years ago I really hated this guy. He means problems. But before that, he usually scores a couple of goals which would not be bad for us,..
