French club Marseille says Ghana midfielder Andre Ayew will sign a new three-year contract.

Marseille sports director Jose Anigo said on Thursday that Ayew agreed a deal that will see him play with the French champions until 2014.

Marseille said ''only a few details remained to be arranged'' before the deal will be finalized.

The 20-year-old Ayew, who was courted by German side Stuttgart, spent last season on loan with second-tier French club Arles, helping the team to promotion to the top flight.
