Nicolas Anelka has reportedly left West Brom just 49 days after signing a one-year deal at the Hawthorns.
It is being said that Anelka, 34, had a meeting with club’s technical director Richard Garlick at West Brom’s training ground this morning in which the two parties agreed to nullify his contract and that the French striker was last seen packing his bags and leaving the premises.
It is Understood that his brother is his agent, so it seems the French man might be dealing with something truly tragic.
According to Birmingham Mail journo Chris Lepkowski, it’s being suggested that Anelka’s decision to leave was based on personal matters.
The Daily Telegraph have it thus:
It is believed Anelka may have experienced a recent tragedy in his personal life and talks to find an amicable solution with the club have so far failed. There is no suggestion of a bust-up.
The Telegraph also reckon that Anelka has cleared out his locker while Sky Sports News are saying that he also told club staff that he plans to retire with immediate effect.
From a statement issued on West Brom’s official website…
“[WBA] can confirm that Nicolas Anelka will not be involved in Saturday’s game at Everton. The club have excused the striker from club duty on compassionate grounds.”
That is all. Anelka hasn’t walked out on the club, he’s merely been allowed a leave of absence to deal with what may be an incredibly personal bereavement."
