Former Chelsea star Nicolas Anelka will not return to the Premier League, despite rumours linking him with an exit from Shanghai Shenua.

The 33-year-old had been linked with QPR and West Ham has endured a difficult start to life in China, scoring twice as well as having a spat with a fan last week.

“I won’t go back to the Premier League. If one day I leave Shenhua, it will be the day I retire,” Anelka told Oriental Sports Daily.

“I will never go back, although I had a good time there. But now I’m in Shenhua and this is my own decision.”
