Manchester City's Nicolas Anelka is poised to sign for Turkey's Fenerbahce after the clubs agreed a fee for the French striker tonight.

"Manchester City and Fenerbahce have agreed a fee for the transfer of Nicolas Anelka," City said on their website.

"The club will make no further comment until the transfer is complete."

Anelka, who joined City in July 2002 from Paris St Germain, has been sidelined since January 1 with a back and groin problem.
