West Brom blow as sponsors Zoopla quit

West Brom are to lose sponsor Zoopla due to the controversy surrounding Nicolas Anelka’s ‘quenelle’ goal celebration.

The property website firm will not renew its backing of the club when its current deal expires at the end of the season.

Anelka’s ‘quenelle’ gesture after scoring at West Ham on December 28, sparked furore, particularly in his native France, where it has been declared as anti-Semitic and racist.
