Chelsea forward Nicolas Anelka wants to leave the club, according to The Mirror.
The Frenchman was overlooked by new manager Andre Villas-Boas in the side's opening game of the season at Stoke City, with the Portuguese boss favouring £50 million signing Fernando Torres.
With Torres, Didier Drogba, Daniel Sturridge, Salomon Kalou and Florent Malouda, as well as Chelsea-bound Romelu Lukaku, all set to be vying for starting roles this season, Anelka's first-team opportunities at Stamford Bridge could be limited.
Anelka has one year left on his current deal with the Blues and, despite previously stating that he wanted to stay at Stamford Bridge this summer, is ready to listen to offers after dropping down the pecking order under Villas-Boas.
