Brentford has signed Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a club-record fee of £42 million. The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract after a successful Premier League season, where he scored seven goals and provided four assists. Following recent player exits, including top scorer Bryan Mbeumo and captain Christian Norgaard, Ouattara is expected to receive ample playing time. Brentford's new head coach Keith Andrews believes that the additional game time will allow Ouattara to thrive in his new environment and complement the team's needs.
"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."
"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 gametime."
"He also suits the way we want to play. He has something that we were lacking in the forward line, and he will complement what we already have in the building."
"The fans will love him; he's the type of player that they will get off their seat for."
