<SPAN>Anelka, who has 31 caps for France, has penned a four-year deal with the Wanderers after successfully completing a medical at the Club's training HQ at Euxton on Thursday.</SPAN>
<SPAN>A delighted Sam Allardyce said: </SPAN>
<SPAN>"Patience is a virtue, and I am pleased to say that all the waiting and hard-work we've done behind the scenes has paid off.</SPAN>
<SPAN>"Nicolas is a player with an amazing track record in the Premiership; he was born to score goals. His talent and experience will be a valuable asset for us.</SPAN>
<SPAN>"I'd also like to thank Eddie Davies (Club owner) and our Chairman Phil Gartside. It's an unprecedented amount of money for Bolton Wanderers to spend and fully underlines the Club's ambition."</SPAN>
<SPAN>The Versailles born star came up through the youth ranks of Paris Saint Germain before starting his love affair with English football - by joining Arsenal - as a 17 year-old. He broke into the Gunners' first-team in the 1997/1998 season and was a key figure in the North London club's league and cup double. He scored the Gunners' second goal in a 2-0 FA Cup final victory against Newcastle United.</SPAN>
<SPAN>His blistering pace and finishing prowess saw him pick up the PFA Young Player of the Year award in the 1998/1999 season. </SPAN>
<SPAN>In the summer of 1999, Real Madrid dispensed with £22.3 million for the Frenchman's services. He spent just one season in Spain before returning to his first club Paris Saint Germain.</SPAN>
<SPAN>After a season in his homeland, he returned to the Premiership with Liverpool, where he spent a period on loan, netting four goals in 20 appearances.</SPAN>
<SPAN>The Reds didn't take up an option to sign him permanently and instead Manchester City boss Kevin Keegan paid a club record £12 million for him.</SPAN>
<SPAN>In his three seasons with the Manchester club, Anelka netted 38 goals in just 89 games before he opted to join the Turkish giants Fenerbahce.</SPAN>
<SPAN>The 27-year-old frontman will travel to London with Big Sam on Friday, when he will meet up with the Whites contingent at their London base ahead of this weekend's game against Charlton Athletic at The Valley.</SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
