Portsmouth keen on Bolton striker Anelka

The reports comes just days after Manchester United denied they were interested in the French striker.

But Bolton boss Sammy Lee insists they are not interested in selling Anelka.

Lee told the Daily Express: “We don’t want to lose our best players.

“It is my job to keep a healthy camp with the desire to be successful.

“The chairman is in the process of talking to current players where we can tie them up on long-term deals.”
