Brentford has finalized a club record signing of forward Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for up to £42.5 million. The 23-year-old player will undergo a medical in London following his desire to leave Bournemouth due to limited playing time. Ouattara recorded nine goals in 37 matches last season. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest shifted their focus to a 37.5 million deal for Omari Hutchinson of Ipswich, while Brentford's own interest in Hutchinson included an earlier rejected offer. Speculation surrounds the future of striker Yoane Wissa at Brentford as well.
Brentford have agreed a club record deal worth up to 42.5m for Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara, who is travelling to London for a medical.
Ouattara, 23, scored nine goals in 37 appearances last season but wanted to leave Bournemouth due to a lack of a prominent role.
Nottingham Forest previously showed interest in Ouattara, but opted for a 37.5m deal with Ipswich for winger Omari Hutchinson.
Brentford had a 35m bid rejected by Ipswich for Hutchinson, while doubts loom over striker Yoane Wissa's future.
