The Shanghai Shenua striker is reportedly set to undergo a medical on Monday to complete a five-month deal during the Chinese off-season.
"Anelka? In July we made some targeted investments, but now we are in an emergency situation in attack, so we moved to fix those issues, even if it is not official yet," Marotta told Sky Italia.
"It can be a good move for the short term, then at the end of the season we'll evaluate what must be done. He is filling a hole. It is a five-month contract with an option for the second season, if things go well.
"Anelka's arrival rules out any other transfers, because in this stage of the transfer window there are no other opportunities," Marotta added.
"He will put himself at the disposal of the squad and it'll be up to (manager) Antonio Conte to decide how to use him. After all, he is not in great physical condition considering he hasn't played for a month."
