PSG in two stages, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Fenerbahce, Bolton, Chelsea, Shangai, Juventus and the WBA where he came from in an unorthodox way complete the extensive career of a player who began to emerge when he was almost a child.

It was with Arsene Wenger, in the ranks of Arsenal where he stood out at the end of the 90's. There being practically a teenager, They gave him the label of future world football figure. Con 20 years, after his failure with the Real Madrid shirt, it seemed that he was already a failed and sunk player for elite football. In China, won 12 million euros in six months and when it seemed that he was already finished to play football, signed for Juventus with whom he won the Italian League. In his other destinations he did not stand out too much except in London. In April of 2014 He was about to sign for the Brazilian Atlético Mineiro but in the end it did not work.

Anelka is also on the list of players who have generated the most money with their transfers, only surpassed by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. In total, his twelve team changes have generated a total of 134 millions of euros, certainly a more than respectable amount.

The truth is that it could not have been further from reality.
