Floyd Ayite has revealed the opportunity for his family to watch him every week in Africa is spurring him on in Fulham's quest for Premier League football.

Slavisa Jokanovic's side face Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon at Hillsborough in the final game of the season before they embark on the play-offs, with a freak 13 goal swing the only thing that can deny them a place.

Championship football isn't something that you can usually find on TV in Togo, where his family currently call home, with Premier League matches dominating the schedules across the country and the continent of Africa, with people wanting to see Manchester United and Liverpool more than Fulham.

That means Ayite's family can only see him play when they come over the England, something his mother Therese has done three times, while his father Maximillian has not yet had the pleasure of watching his son cause nightmares for fullbacks down the Craven Cottage wings.

If Ayite and Fulham reach Wembley and a play-off final, the 28-year-old will be paying for his mother, father and the rest of his family to come over and watch so he can share the experience, but he is hoping promotion will mean they can watch him every week from the comfort of their home in Togo.

He said: “You can't watch the game in the Championship but every person in Africa watches the Premier League so if one day I play in the Premier League they can watch the game.

International duty: Floyd Ayite with Togo

“My family in Africa watched me when I played in France because I was in the first league in France and they can watch the game over there but at the moment in Championship they cannot watch the game.

“My family have to come to England to watch the game at Fulham but if we get promoted that would be a good thing for them.

“They have come maybe three times, but just my mother, not my father.

“My father prefers to stay there but my mother likes England and for her it is good to come to England

“All my family I think will be there (at Wembley), it's expensive but that is a good moment to share and experience with my family.

“It will be a first visit for my father, he will come and my mother and little brother, all of my family will be there.

“It's a lot of money but I can do this for my family.”

Togo's most famous football son is ex-Arsenal man Emmanuel Adebayor, with the people of the African country idolising him for his exploits with club and country in years gone by.

Ayite also looks up to the striker and has said that he speaks regularly with Adebayor about England , with the ex-Arsenal man telling the Fulham forward that the country is a good place for his family to live.

He added: “Every time we played in Africa we talked about England and London because he lived in London and said it's beautiful to live here, that it's good also for your family to live here and speak English, that is a good experience.

“If we get to Wembley I will talk with him to get a feeling for the place.”

Fulham will find out today who they face in those play-offs games, with the first match taking place on Saturday May 13, while the second leg will be on Tuesday May 16.
