Nigeria forward, Victor Anichebe, has reported his own club, Beijing Enterprises, to FIFA over allegations of match-fixing.
The former Everton and West Brom striker according to a report in the dailymail lodged the complaint after alleging he was asked ‘not to try’ by coaches on two occasions, including for a game against their local rivals.
Anichebe questioned the instruction but claimed he was told by team-mates: ‘This is China, we do as we’re told.’
The 30-year-old has been in dispute with the club since last October and sought legal advice to take up his case.
Manchester-based sports lawyer Chris Farnell approached Beijing’s general manager on Anichebe’s behalf but his appeals for action have been ignored on two occasions and action has still to be taken.
