Bastia have taken Roma forward Junior Tallo on a season-long loan with an option for a permanent transfer.

The 21-year-old Ivorian spent last season on loan with Bastia's Corsican rivals Ajaccio, scoring eight goals in 23 games.

Tallo is Claude Makelele's first signing since the former Chelsea, Real Madrid and France midfielder took over as coach of the club. Makelele led his squad in their first pre-season training session on Thursday.
