Liverpool and Arsenal have been scuppered in their bid to sign Andre Ayew.
The 24-year-old was thought to be available for as little as ã1.5m, but he has signed a new one-year deal to stay at Marseille.
Speaking about his contract extension, Ayew said: "Itââ¬â¢s true I have agreed a new one year deal. The last day, Vincent (Labrune) called me and asked me to stay."
