West Ham United have completed the signing of Lyon striker Frederic Piquionne.
Piquionne, who spent last season playing for new Hammers boss Avram Grant while on loan at Portsmouth, has joined for an undisclosed fee.
The 31-year-old has signed a three-year contract at Upton Park.
Piquionne, capped once by France, scored 11 goals in all competitions for Portsmouth, with three of those coming in their run to the FA Cup final.
"I am very happy to sign for West Ham because my last manager was Avram," he told the club's website.
"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 just to 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."
