Sam Allardyce Open to Nicolas Anelka Deal to Bring French Striker to West Ham United: The Daily EPL

Big Sam is open to bringing Nicolas Anelka under his wing. The West Ham United manager gave Anelka a new lease of life when he managed the mercurial striker at Bolton Wanderers. I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see Anelka playing in the Premier League again as long as he wasn’t on the bench sulking each week.

Before I jump into today’s news headlines, I want to give you a heads-up that today will be the last Daily EPL (and Nightly EPL) for one week. I’ll be taking a break for a week, but normal service will resume beginning next Sunday.
