Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has admitted striker Nicolas Anelka looks certain to leave the club next summer.
Anelka, 32, is in the final year of his contract and Villas-Boas has revealed the striker has indicated he is prepared to run down his current deal.
When asked if the France international would be offered a new contract, Villas-Boas said: "It might not be the player's expectancy to renew."
... but it wouldn't surprise me if Villas-Boas is gone before Anelka.
