Who? Frederic Piquionne
Where is he? St Etienne
Who is he linked with? Everton
Transfer stories normally start with something about so-and-so attracting the attention of a coach due to their fabulous scoring record or recent run of stunning performances, but Frederic Piquionne is chiefly in the news right now because he's headbutted a fan. This has aroused the attention of Everton chief David Moyes who, not content with just having Big Dunc on the staff, wants another man who's not afraid of giving people a Glasgow kiss. Even if they're your own fans. There is significant pressure on Piquionne to leave St Etienne, presumably from season-ticket holders who are terrified of him, and Everton have been keen to take him on loan until the end of the season, as they look for a permanent partner for James Beattie. However, St Etienne are unwilling to their leading scoring leave, despite his 'troubled' relationship with St Etienne fans.
