Arsene Wenger brings Nicolas Anelka to England from Paris Saint Germain in 1997 for just �500,000
Anelka is a big success at Highbury as Arsenal win the double and he is named young player of the year
Anelka's introverted personality means he's perceived as moody and he is nicknamed 'The Incredible Sulk'
It costs �23m to bring him to the Real Madrid in 1999 - but the Frenchman finds it hard to settle
Despite Champions League success, Anelka struggles in front of goal and again complains of press intrusion
Anelka is soon on the move again - this time he returns to PSG for a fee in excess of �20m
A loan spell with Liverpool doesn't work out - they are not impressed enough to make the move permanent
A �13m move to Manchester City is Anelka's next stop - and he seems to be enjoying himself again
