No more anti-Semitic salutes, vows Anelka

Nicolas Anelka has agreed not to perform his controversial “quenelle” goal celebration again after West Brom conceded the gesture had caused offence.

The French striker has denied the salute had any anti-Semitic connotations but he caused a storm in his native France by making the gesture during the 3-3 draw with West Ham.

West Brom say they accept the celebration has caused some offence and that Anelka has been asked to refrain from doing it again — and that he has agreed to do so.
