Victor Anichebe has announced he will be leaving West Brom when his contract expires next month.

Anichebe, who moved to The Hawthorns from Everton for £5m in the summer of 2013, has struggled to make an impression in the first team this season, despite a troubled campaign for fellow striker Saido Berahino.

The 28-year-old Nigerian did not start a Premier League match for West Brom until the 1-0 home win over Newcastle on December 28 and Baggies boss Tony Pulis named him in his starting line-up on just two further occasions.

He wrote on Twitter: "Thank you to all the West Brom fans for the support during my time at the club! I wish you all the best for the future. God bless."
