Nicolas Anelka has agreed terms with Fenerbahce and is set to complete his move.
Manchester City striker has agreed terms with Fenerbahce and is now set to complete his move to the Turkish outfit.The Istanbul-based club revealed they had reached an accord with the French striker on Sunday night, and the transfer should now beat Monday's deadline.
The two clubs had settled on a fee of between £6-7 million earlier in the week allowing Anelka to travel to Turkey for talks on personal terms.
The 25-year-old will now undergo a medical on Monday and if, as expected, he comes through with no problems he will put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half year deal - with an option of a further year.
Fenerbahce have been chasing the French striker throughout the transfer window and finally appear to have got their man.
"An agreement has been reached with French international forward Nicolas Anelka, following a deal with his club Manchester City," read a statement from the Turkish outfit.
"The France international is a Fenerbahce player for three and a half seasons plus an option of an extra year.
"The contract result is as the way our club wished, in fitting with our requests and principles.
"Anelka will arrive in Istanbul in the late hours of the evening."
Anelka has endured a turbulent career at The City of Manchester Stadium, despite finishing as top scorer for the past two seasons, having repeatedly spoken of his desire to move to a big club.
With City still owing Paris Saint Germain money on the deal that brought Anelka to the club in 2002, it appears they have decided to cut their losses on the former Arsenal ace.
