With age was nearly 33 years, the role of Anelka in the field has begun to diminish. He's played more as a substitute.
Former Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid claim to be happy with his present condition. But, when asked about the future, he also has not given a straight answer.
Anelka turns 33 in March and his future at Chelsea looked under threat when former boss Carlo Ancelotti was sacked at the end of last season.
Former France striker Anelka, who has impressed under Villas-Boas, told said: 'I am linked everywhere but, when you are linked, it doesn't mean you want to leave.
'I like Chelsea and first of all wanted to stay - that's why I am still here.
'I will see what happens in December and, if I am still here, I will see what happens in June.
'I am happy here, I like the club, everyone here, and, after, I will see what happens. It is not only down to me.
