BEIJING, Dec 11 (AFP): Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka has agreed to join Shanghai Shenhua, the club said on Sunday in a major coup for Chinese football. The former Arsenal and Real Madrid star will be the biggest name to appear in China's Super League, which is growing in stature despite significant corruption problems that have left several officials facing jail. "We have basically agreed on the details of the contract, but there are small details that we still need to confirm tonight," club spokesman said.
