West Brom striker Nicolas Anelka has agreed not to use the "quenelle" gesture again when celebrating goals.

Anelka, 34, made the sign - described as an inverted Nazi salute - after scoring his first of two goals in Saturday's 3-3 draw at West Ham.

France's sports minister accused him of a "disgusting anti-Semitic" gesture.

A statement from West Brom said: "The club has asked Nicolas not to perform the gesture again. Nicolas immediately agreed to adhere to this request."

The French government is trying to ban comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala's shows over his use of the gesture and Anelka confirmed on Twitter  he did it in support of the performer.

But West Brom instructed Anelka not to use the gesture again after acknowledging "the goal celebration has caused offence in some quarters".
