The Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed that Nicolas Anelka and Alex have both had their transfer requests accepted.
Their official Twitter account announced: "Andre Villas-Boas confirms that transfer requests have been put in by Nicolas Anelka and Alex and have been accepted. #CFC"
No big loss for them really Alex couldnt get a start under the previous regime and Anelka is getting past it now anyway. AVB wants new blood and neither are part of his plans so I doubt he cares.
