Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka appears to have ended speculation over his future by signing a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2011.
The French international striker has been linked with a move away from the Reebok, with several Premier League clubs reportedly interested.
But Anelka claims he is happpy to stay with Bolton.
“I seem to have been linked with every club in the country of late, but my heart is with Bolton,” he said.
“I am very happy with my form, the club and the manager so signing a new contract was not a difficult decision.”
“Hopefully we will prosper together because I would not have remained at Bolton if I’d thought we could not win trophies.”
French international Anelka joined Bolton from Fenerbahce last summer in a club record £8m deal.
Bolton boss Sammy Lee added: “It is a fantastic boost that Nicolas has agreed to stay with us.
“We have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to get him to commit his long-term future to us.
“Nicolas is one of the world’s best strikers and I am immensely proud and happy that he has shown such commitment to the club.
“It’s also a boost for the dressing room because a team never wants to lose anybody of Nicolas’s stature and presence.
“This shows our ambition to be amongst the top clubs, not just in this country but across the world of football.”
