PSG's Ancelotti rules out move for Anelka

PARIS Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti has ruled out signing Nicolas Anelka, even though the former France and Chelsea striker is training with the club.

Anelka was a key player in the Chelsea team that won the Premier League and FA Cup double under Ancelotti's guidance three seasons ago, and they have remained close friends since.

Speaking ahead of yesterday's league match against Ajaccio, Ancelotti said "he's merely training with us. I'm not thinking of signing him."

The 33-year-old Anelka, who started his career with PSG, is currently with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, but is reportedly in talks to cancel the contract after just one year.

Ancelotti added that "we'll see if he asks for a (PSG) contract, but I honestly don't think that's possible."
