West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke says Nicolas Anelka has become a popular member of their squad since joining the club. "There is no downside with Nicolas," said Clarke. "That ('Le Sulk') is an image that is portrayed in the press, but I find him to be a very engaging character, a very good person and he has been great in the group here.

"He has come in and settled well. He is already a favourite among the players."
