Pppppp.. pick up a Piquionne
West Ham have signed French striker Frederic Piquionne from Olympique Lyonnais. Piquionne is no stranger to the Premiership having spent last season on loan working with Avram Grant at Portsmouth. He has signed a three-year-deal for an undisclosed fee, thought to be around £1 million. Piquionne scored 11 goals in all competitions last season with 8 coming in the Premiership. Speaking to the official site he admitted he was looking forward to working with Avram Grant again, “I’m very happy to sign for West Ham because my last manager was Avram.” “I know Avram and I like working with him and I think he likes me. I’m coming to work hard for the squad and I hope we have a good season. “Avram is a very, very good coach. Last year we had many problems at Portsmouth but we got to the FA Cup final. He’s a very good manager. As a player, it will be good to just concentrate on my football. When I do that, I play well and play with passion. We have the players here to have a very good season.”
