Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has dropped a major hint that he will agree a new contract at Stamford Bridge and end talk of a possible summer move away from the Blues.

The 31-year-old France international's deal runs until the summer of 2012, but rumours have started suggesting that Anelka was set to reject fresh terms and opt to move on.

However, the former Arsenal, Real Madrid and Liverpool frontman said: "I feel at home here at Chelsea. I'm happy in my life and I will be more happy at the end of the season if we win the Premier League.

"I said when I first signed that I wanted a big club and I've found a big club, so now I don't need to move anywhere else.

"I am very glad to be here. I've been at big clubs before with Arsenal, Real Madrid and Liverpool, but between the ages of 25 and 30 you want to be able to find a real home for yourself.

"It came at 28 for me, when I signed here, so I am glad - it has been a long career, playing for a lot of clubs, but I like the fact that I'm playing now in one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"I don't need to move anywhere."

Anelka has scored 39 goals in 113 appearances for the Blues since his arrival from Bolton Wanderers in January 2008.
