Former Chelsea and Arsenal striker, Nicolas Anelka is having a medical at West Brom.
Anelka, now 34 is undergoing a medical at The Hawthorns.
Anelka who has already had several stints in the top flight in England, winning titles with Chelsea and Arsenal as well as a Champion League with Real Madrid, spent six months on loan at Italian giants Juventus after leaving Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua in 2013.
Anelka has racked up over 100 Premier League goals and won the golden boot in the 2008-09 season with Chelsea.
The French striker started his well traveled carer with Arsenal before leaving for Real Madrid in 1999 for a reported £23.5m. Despite a successful season with Madrid he did not settle in Spain and moved back home to French side PSG in 2000, eventually being loaned to Liverpool for the 2001-02 season. A year later, a £13m transfer to Manchester City followed in 2002 and three years later another move for Anelka took him to Turkish side Fenerbahce. In August 2006 there was a return to England with Bolton paying a club-record fee of £8m for the striker before Chelsea took him to the Bridge for a reported £15m in January 2008, where he moved a effective partnership with powerful Ivory Coast international Didier Drogba.
Anelka, who has won 69 caps for France left Chelsea to join Shanghai Shenhua in January 2012 and finally returning to Europe on a short deal with Juventus.
Should Anelka pass the medical, he would become West Brom's first signing of the summer.
