West Brom have confirmed their interest in signing striker Frederic Piquionne who played a major role in Portsmouth reaching last season's FA Cup final. The 31-year-old Lyon player spent the 2009-2010 campaign on loan at Fratton Park and scored 10 goals in all competitions. They included two against Birmingham in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and another in the shock success over Tottenham in the semi-final win at Wembley. Piquionne has since returned to Lyon but Albion are keen for him to return to the Barclays Premier League. The club's sporting and technical director Dan Ashworth said: "Frederic has got a couple of years left at Lyon and we've made an inquiry but there is no firm commitment. "He is a player who has been linked with three or four clubs so he's not short of options."
