However, Bolton Wanderers swooped in and on 25 August 2006, manager Sam Allardyce announced that he had signed Anelka on a four year deal for a club record of £8m. Anelka made his debut for Bolton against Watford on 9 September 2006.
Anelka took time to settle in at Bolton, and took until 25 November 2006 to score his first league goal for the club. Ironically this came in the form of a brace against Arsenal, the club that introduced him to the Premiership. In this game against Arsenal at the Reebok Stadium, he managed to score a goal in both the first and second halves of the game. The first goal,was quite remarkable, winning November's Goal of the Month award on Match of the Day.
Anelka celebrates his goals by making a butterfly sign. Interlocking his two hands and creating a flicking movement, On the 30 December 2006 Anelka revealed to English paper The Daily Mail that the celebration was "something between me and my friends in France" it is thus assumed a celebration he wishes to keep personal.
During January 2007, Anelka stated that he would be willing to leave Bolton Wanderers for a return to former club Arsenal. However, Anelka pledged his future to Bolton Wanderers in July 2007, following talks with manager Sammy Lee.
At junior level, Anelka played for the French junior team in the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship. Anelka had made his senior team debut for France in a goalless draw with Sweden on April 21, 1998 but was overlooked for the 1998 World Cup. He was part of France's Euro 2000 and 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup squads. However, in 2002, he again was left out of the 2002 World Cup. After France's disastrous defense of their title in Japan & Korea, manager Roger Lemerre was replaced by Jacques Santini. Anelka was not called up for international duty between 2002 and 2005, after a fallout with Santini, when he snubbed a call up for a friendly match, due to an injury. However he enjoyed a revival of sorts, as Santini's replacement Raymond Domenech recalled him to the squad for a round of friendly matches in November 2005, culminating in him scoring his first international goal for over three years in a 3-2 win over Costa Rica on the island of Martinique. As of June 2006, he has won 38 caps for France, scoring ten goals.
He was not selected for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, and even when striker Djibril Cissé was forced out of the tournament due to injury, Olympique Lyonnais' striker Sidney Govou was called up as Cissé's replacement rather than Anelka, who declared in response, "My absence is a real shame. I was completely available and ready to play in this World Cup. I think I could have helped France."
Anelka came on as a substitute in the European Championshp qualifier against Lithuania on 24 March 2007, and scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory. Following his performance, Anelka was praised by Raymond Domenech: "It is the Nicolas I like to see... when he shows these qualities, he is a candidate for a permanent place." He also scored in the 2-0 victory against Ukraine on 2 June 2007.
He plays with number 39 for both club and country.
