Anelka and RVP on Anzhi radar
Anzhi Makhachkala assistant caretaker coach claims Chelsea's Nicolas Anelka and Arsenal's Robin van Persie are on the Russian club's radar.[LNB] The big-spending Dagestan outfit hit the headlines in the summer when they made Samuel Eto'o the highest paid player in world football with a deal worth in excess of £250,000-a-week.[LNB]Billionaire Suleyman Kerimov is financing the club and despite already making huge investment, they are still looking for more big names.[LNB]Having already been linked with England coach Fabio Capello, along with midfielders Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard - Roberto Carlos admits they have other targets in the Premier League.[LNB]"Anelka is not the only player. Nene from PSG and Van Persie from Arsenal are players we are following," the Brazilian told TV show Canal Football Club.[LNB]He also confirmed that the club are still tracking Brazilian wonderkid Neymar.[LNB]"Neymar? I talked to him. If Real, Barca or Man United cannot pay the transfer fee, we will pay it. Suleyman Kerimov can offer what he wants."[LNB]Meanwhile, Anzhi's Hungarian winger Balazs Dzsudzsak has backed the club's stance for looking at big names.[LNB]Dzsudzsak says it is great to know that his club has the chance to sign players like Samuel Eto'o or Gerrard or a coach like Capello.[LNB]"It doesn't matter what I feel, but it's important that we know it's a reality that players like them can sign to us," he told Origo. [LNB]"When I signed for Anzhi, I received so many critics [from Hungary] and now this thing [that some players are going to leave their team for Anzhi] is a positive feedback for me. It makes me calm and I feel good when I think about it.[LNB]"Before the summer transfer period, nobody knew a word about Anzhi and now the club signed a player from Inter and having talks with Fabio Capello, Guus Hiddink and other star coaches. [LNB]"I'm sure it may be frustrating that there's a region which was not on the football map and suddenly Europe is talking about who they could or who they might sign."
