Togo international Floyd Ayite joins French club Bastia

Togo international winger Floyd Ayite has signed a three-year deal with French Ligue 1 side Bastia.

The 25-year-old makes the switch following the expiration of his contract with Reims.

Ayite had been linked to a number of English clubs but opted to work under former France international Claude Makelele, who became head coach in May.

He scored five goals and managed four assists in 32 matches last season as Reims finished 11th in Ligue 1.

Ayite joined Reims in 2011 from Bordeaux and has also had loan stints at Angers and Nancy.

The pacy attacker has played 13 times for Togo, scoring his only international goal to date against Gabon in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in November 2009.

Last week Bastia announced they had agreed to sell Tunisia international midfielder Wahbi Khazri to Bordeaux.
