Transfer Rumors: Nicolas Anelka Eyeing Move to Algerian Club NA Hussein Dey
Could Nicolas Anelka make a surprise move to Algerian football? According to reports from DZfoot, the former France international is currently in Algeria to negotiate a deal with NA Hussein Dey, a club sitting 14th in the Algerian top flight.
Anelka, who is a free agent after a stint with Mumbai FC in India, appears open to continuing his career in North Africa. The move would mark yet another chapter in the well-traveled striker’s career, which has included spells at Arsenal, Real Madrid, PSG, Chelsea, Juventus, and West Brom, among others.
After being sanctioned for his controversial “quenelle” gesture while at West Brom, Anelka left the Premier League and opted for a brief stint in the Indian Super League. Now, at 35 years old (as of 2015), the veteran forward could bring star power and experience to a struggling Hussein Dey side.
Stay tuned — this would be one of the most high-profile arrivals in Algerian football in recent years.
