West Bromwich Albion defender Billy Jones brands Nicolas Anelka "a class act".

West Bromwich Albion defender Billy Jones has branded new signing Nicolas Anelka "a class act".

The Frenchman, who joined the Baggies on a free transfer this summer, has scored three goals in pre-season for the Premier League outfit.

"You can see what a class act Nico is. You could see last night how clever he is on the ball and how well balanced he is and he's scoring goals as well," Jones told the club's official website.

"He spread the ball out wide to me and I was just hoping that he would carry on his run. Like any great striker would, he continued his run and I knew I had to hit it hard and get it in there and he finished it brilliantly."

Anelka spent the second part of last season on loan at Juventus.
