The Burkina Faso international also becomes the most expensive player in the London club’s history. Ouattara has signed a five-year contract with Brentford FC until June 2030. The contract also includes a potential one-year extension option.

During his time at Bournemouth, Ouattara played 88 competitive matches, scoring 11 goals and providing 9 assists. The arrival of the Burkina Faso player could open the door to a potential transfer for Congolese international Yoane Wissa, 28, who has been particularly interested in a move to Newcastle United throughout the current summer transfer window.

Brentford begins their 2025-26 Premier League season on Sunday at Nottingham Forest.
