Marseille striker Jordan Ayew says he is pleased to have Joey Barton at the club.
The controversial midfielder has signed a season-long loan with the French club from QPR and Ayew says it is a major positive for the Stade Velodrome outfit.
"He is truly a nice person," Ayew told Marseille's official website.
"It's maybe the case that, on the pitch, he is different, with another kind of desire, another kind of commitment, another kind of aggression.
"But away from it he's truly a good person."
