Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Brentford have completed the signing of Burkinabe\u0301 winger Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth in a deal worth a club-record \u00a337 million plus \u00a35 million in performance-related variables.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old, who joined Bournemouth from Lorient in January 2023, has impressed in the Premier League with his pace, direct play, and versatility across the front line. His performances caught the eye of Brentford, who moved swiftly to secure his services amid interest from other clubs.<\/p>\n

According to sources, Ouattara is already making preparations to undergo his medical on Friday, ahead of finalising personal terms and officially being unveiled by the Bees.<\/p>\n

This signing represents Brentford\u2019s most expensive transfer in history, surpassing their previous record, and signals the club\u2019s ambition to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n

Ouattara has been a regular for Burkina Faso since making his debut in 2021 and was a key figure for his national team during the Africa Cup of Nations. His arrival is expected to add pace, width, and a cutting edge to Brentford\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n

The winger leaves Bournemouth after 18 months, having made over 40 appearances and contributed with crucial goals and assists in their Premier League campaigns.<\/p>\n
