Brentford have confirmed the acquisition of Bournemouth attacker Dango Ouattara in a deal reported to be in the region of \u00a342.5m. The 23-year-old has committed to a five-year contract at the Gtech Community Stadium, with an option for an additional year.<\/p>\n
Ouattara arrives after a little more than two years on the south coast. He joined Bournemouth from French side Lorient in January 2023 and accumulated 88 appearances across all competitions while at the Vitality Stadium. During that period he scored 11 goals and registered nine assists.<\/p>\n
The signing provides a clear reinforcement for Keith Andrews’ side at a time of summer change. Brentford have already lost Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United this window and are facing the likely departure of Yoane Wissa to Newcastle United before the transfer window closes. Bringing in Ouattara is intended to bolster attacking options as the club adapts to those exits.<\/p>\n
The structure of the contract \u2014 five years plus an optional year \u2014 indicates Brentford view Ouattara as a medium-term investment. The reported fee and contract length underline the club’s intent to replace departing contributors and maintain continuity in the squad.<\/p>\n
Ouattara’s record at Bournemouth, featuring 88 appearances, 11 goals and nine assists, forms the statistical basis for the signing. Those figures came after his move from Lorient in January 2023 and represent his output during his spell on the south coast.<\/p>\n
Brentford’s addition of Ouattara arrives ahead of the transfer window deadline and completes one of the club’s early summer signings. The club will now prepare to integrate him into the squad while monitoring the wider window business involving outgoing players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
