Brentford splash club-record fee on Ouattara
Brentford signed Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a reported £42 million ($58 million) on Saturday in a deal that could free up Yoane Wissa to leave the Bees.
Ouattara, 23, scored 11 goals in 88 appearances for the Cherries, since joining from Lorient in 2023.
Brentford confirmed the transfer is a club-record fee, surpassing the £30 million they spent on Igor Thiago last year.
"We’re really happy to get Dango in. He’s someone that we were aware and surprised could be available and, once we knew that signing him might be a possibility, we really focused on trying to get him in," said Brentford boss Keith Andrews.
"We liked his Premier League experience, even at his young age, and he just hasn’t found the rhythm yet because of a lack of consistent game time."
Brentford have lost of all of their manager, top scorer and captain from last season after finishing 10th in the Premier League.
Thomas Frank left to manage Tottenham, Bryan Mbeumo was snapped up by Manchester United and Christian Norgaard signed by Arsenal.
Wissa could join that exodus with Newcastle reportedly interested in the DR Congo international, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season.
