Brentford have agreed a £42.5million deal for Bournemouth winger Dango Ouattara. Brentford are set to pay a club-record fee for Ouattara, who was authorised to travel for a medical on Friday. Reports suggest that Brentford will pay a £37m fixed fee, plus add-ons, for the Burkina Faso international.

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.

Wissa may not be on his way to St James' Park after news emerged from Bournemouth over the proposed move for Dango Ouattara.
