Anelka set for West Brom move

Nicolas Anelka is undergoing a medical at West Brom ahead of his proposed return to the Premier League.

Sky sources understand the French striker will sign a two-year deal at Albion following an unhappy spell in Chinese football.

Anelka left Chelsea for Shanghai Shenhua in January 2012 but joined Juventus during this year's winter transfer window.

A move to The Hawthorns would reunite him with Steve Clarke, the Albion manager who was still a coach at Chelsea when the striker arrived at the start of 2008.
