West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke says Nicolas Anelka has
told him he is contemplating quitting football in the wake of the death
of his agent.
Anelka wrote on his Facebook page that he was feeling "immense
sorrow" following the death of Eric Manasse, and has been granted
compassionate leave by West Brom.
Asked if Anelka had talked about quitting, Clarke says "I'm not
going to deny that he used that word in the conversations we had with
him."
Clarke spoke briefly with the 34-year-old Anelka on Thursday
before the striker left the training ground, adding Friday "he wasn't in
a good place, so the club have decided just to give him a bit of time
to go away and think about it."
