Brentford have emerged as one of several clubs keen on securing the signature of Bournemouth winger Dango Ouattara, according to Sky Sports. The 23-year-old forward has caught the attention of the West London outfit, who are preparing to make an approach to Bournemouth as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season.

Ouattara Ready to Leave

Ouattara, who joined Bournemouth from French side Lorient in January 2023, has reportedly expressed his desire to explore his options this summer. His performances last season have not gone unnoticed, with Brentford among the clubs now circling for his signature.

Brentford are looking to add depth and dynamism to their squad as they aim to build on their solid Premier League campaigns and replace both Bryan Mbeumo and a potentially departing Yoane Wissa. Ouattara’s potential acquisition would align with Brentford’s approach of targeting young, high-potential players who can develop at the club. His ability to operate as a winger or forward makes him an attractive prospect for a team that values tactical flexibility.

While Brentford are yet to formalize their interest with an official bid, Sky Sports reports that an approach is expected soon. However, they face competition from other unnamed clubs, which could complicate negotiations. Bournemouth, for their part, may be reluctant to let Ouattara go, given his contributions and potential for further growth. The Cherries’ stance could depend on the size of any offer and Ouattara’s determination to seek a new challenge.
