Anelka mulls retirement
Print Edition
West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has said striker Nicolas Anelka has told him that he is considering retiring following the death of his agent.
The 34-year-old Frenchman had already been excused from his team’s English Premier League game against Everton today on compassionate grounds after learning that Eric Manasse had died.
British media reported the well-travelled forward had already cleared his locker at the club’s training base. “There was no big bust-up, he didn’t storm out,” Clarke was quoted as saying by the BBC.
“Retirement? When you’re not in a good place those thoughts can come into your mind. I’m not going to deny he mentioned (retirement). He hasn’t trained this week (because of a knock). I was preparing the team for Everton without him.”
The player’s current agent, Doug Pingisi, however, told French daily Le Parisien that Anelka “has not retired”.
The 34-year-old Anelka joined West Brom, his sixth Premier League club, on a free transfer last month. He also played for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League.
