Briand wanted by West Brom

Lyon striker Jimmy Briand has revealed that Premier League side West Brom have enquired about his availability.

The Frenchman made just eight starts in Ligue 1 last term, scoring only one goal as Lyon finished 16 points short of eventual champions Paris Saint-Germain.

And, though Briand is open to the idea of staying at the Stade de Gerland, he admitted he could seek a move away.

In 15 games last season I scored only one goal. That is not the kind of return I was expecting. There is some disappointment in that, he said.

Lyon are a great club, though, and I want to continue here unless I am deemed surplus to requirements.

I know West Brom have asked about me, but nothing has been done as yet. Let s wait and see what happens.

Briand has been capped on five occasions by France, but has not appeared for his country since 2012.

The 27-year-old has been with Lyon since leaving boyhood club Rennes in 2010.
